Filmmaking / Directing : Quote of the Day by Matthew Gross

I definitely agree, @Matthew Gross. I was watching college football yesterday (my team) and the quarterback had to rush from the pocket because a defensive lineman blew past the offensive lineman. The play was a bust. A quarterback can't do it alone, and a filmmaker can't do it alone.

Definitely a team sport. Each department (Position) contributes their expertise to come together to create the show for a win! Could be as simple as the person providing the water once we're in production to the director to the writer. All important to create the team.

Depends on bosses; many of our hero filmmakers are asshats. dictator director/producer in charge and everyone else falls in line.

I totally agree Ibam an actress and some of the big productions the way everything flowed was not only smooth but the team worked amazing together and one of the things I want is a great team and as a writer and a actress I see the different sides of things and I don’t know I love the entertainment industry and I love everything about it. I 100% agree with the above emphasis.

It is especially like a team sport when the series or movie is about sports like "Friday Night Lights". Yeah, you know who's going to win the game because it is written in the teleplay, but everyone must work together to make the game look visually real on screen. It's just a lot of fun to be part of a team, don't you think?

It is a lot of fun to be part of a team, @Matthew Gross. You can make lifelong friends on set, in writers' rooms, etc. Just like in sports.

I agree Maurice

Honestly Matthew without the team I just can’t see it. I think I am bias by being an actress and working on set and just seeing all the jobs at once. Receiving scripts and pitch decks and wardrobe and the camera operators and just everyone coming together and making a fake environment look like the real thing. I had a chance to work on 1 Marvel movie and it was a lot of fun and the other TV series were also but each set was unique and different and I just don’t se how 1 person could do it.

I watch a scene from Cobra Kai, and as a performing artist I could tell how close-knit the cast and crew were when making this scene. Everyone had to work together, or there would be injuries. They, talent, had to trust each other and the crew. Here's a link to that scene. Teamwork at its best.

I totally agree. While you can do it alone, the process is better and the creativity is only enhanced with others working alongside you.

A team always has a coach, who leads them to victory.

The part that appeals to me about it, Matthew Gross are the lifelong relationships that can be formed within a team.

I'd say as someone who was team captain It was like herding cats... LOL just kidding. Was always fun Directing.

In the behind the scenes videos on YouTube, there are three common ongoing production teams: Team 1) Denis Villeneuve, Team 2) JJ Abrams, and Team 3) Christopher Nolan. They are surrounded by the same crew for every film. This not only creates a family environment, but it also creates a long-term income for its players. The goal should be to find and get on a team at the ground floor.

Kane Parsons, a 17-year-old based in northern California created the YouTube phenom 'The Backrooms'. He signed with William Morris Endeavor and is slated to co-write and direct 'The Backrooms' feature film through A24 during his summer vacation from high school. Kane stated in a press release that he intends to work with his original team -- classmates from his prestigious arts high school. It's quite exciting to see Kane's work. He's also a wonderfully gifted composer. Here is a cut from one of his soundtrack:
