If I’m directing actors, I learn about acting that way. If I’m acting, I learn about directing that way. Producing is just something that’s come about because there’s projects I find interesting that I would like to help get done Picture Quote #1

Writing and directing your own film, for me, has been the best experience of my life Picture Quote #1
