So you wanna be a director? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because Chuck and Victoria are here to share the many, many, many mistakes they’ve made on set—so you don’t have to. (Or, at the very least, so you’ll have some company when you inevitably make them yourself.)
In this episode, we dive into the chaotic, coffee-fueled world of indie film directing:🎥 Do demand your family sit through your indie film.🚫 Don't demand your friends act in it (unless they owe you).🎬 Do let your cinematographer handle the camera.⚠️ Don't hand them a boom mic instead (seriously, why would you do that?)🎭 Do work with talented actors.💀 Don't tell them they’re trash (seriously, again, why?)
Victoria also spills about that time she was an extra on Lethal Weapon 4, and we unpack the horror that is M. Night Shyamalan’s Old—because nothing screams "riveting cinema" like people explaining the plot to each other in real time.
So grab a coffee, avoid directing your significant other (unless you’ve got a strong relationship), and join us for a hilariously painful breakdown of Directing Don’ts.
