As a director, you make a thousand decisions a day. Mostly binary decisions, yes or no, this one or that one, the red one or the blue one, faster or slower. It’s the culmination of those decisions that define the tone of the film, and whether or not it moves people. The only way you become a better director is by watching the result of those decisions, and understanding how they worked—and if they didn’t work, how to make them better. And over the course of the past six years, as I’ve directed more features and commercials, I’ve become better at articulating exactly how I want the audience to feel.
