The Gentle Hand of the Director

Aharr Over the course of 26 years, we've seen every form of talent direction. The best directors coax a great read from an actor by making sure they understand the goal of the script, offering them the right emotional direction and then trusting the actor to bring something of their own to the table. All predispositions are put aside and a synergy takes place that improves the work.
