Telling a story visually is an interesting concept. I want to be to make the camera feel like it's invisible. Camera movement like Steadicam, tracking shots, and dolly shots are cards that you can play. But you should only use those cards if you feel that it helps the story move along or makes a shot more interesting. Hide

At the end of the day it's all about the drama on screen. No one seems to care about good cinematography and can forgive minor mistakes as long as the drama is good. Hide

I try to have fun on set, cut jokes and what not as at the end of the day we are making a movie, not curing cancer. But at the same time there is a lot on the line for ourselves and our families. That's why there can be great intensity sometimes. Hide

I think some of the best directing you can do is getting out of the actor's way. A tweak or two here does the trick. But when I see that something is working I try to let them do their thing. A lot of directors don't seem to trust their actors and I have never gotten that. You hired them for a reason. Hide

There are so many people that I'd love to work with. As far as directing actors go Aaron Paul would be a treat, I really dig what Lizzy Caplan is doing right now, T.J Miller and Donald Glover seems like a lot of fun. As far as acting for directors David Fincher is on the top of my list. Working with him, Woody Allen, Martin Scorcese, Quentin Tarantino, and the Coen Brothers would be a dream come true for me. Hide

Acting and being a filmmaker can be very lonely. I come from a racing and sports background so there was a ton of camaraderie going on. Even in racing where everyone is your competitor. But when I started acting it was different. Everyone is way more out for themselves, there are quite a few flaky people, people will stab you in the back in a second if it serves them well, and everyone kinda does there own thing. It can be tough sometimes. But it's a good exercise in learning how to be alone. Hide
