Can you tell us about your directing experiences?

It’s heaven.

I grew up making films and always thought that’s what I wanted to do. I fell into writing, and have been a writer for a long time, and now I’m at a place where I look forward to the opportunity to get behind the camera and direct some of the things that I write.

I find it unbelievably easier than writing. For no other reason than you have a hundred people helping you, and every time you move there’s a chair under your butt, so that’s certainly a good thing. So you have all these incredibly talented people to work with, it’s not the isolated kind of trauma that writing is.

You’re out there collaborating with other people and it’s a lot of fun. For me, anyway, it’s no big mystery on how to direct because I have a rapport with the actors. They’re all very talented, and if I see something in my head a certain way it’s very easy for me to communicate to them how I would like to see it. They’ll have ideas how to make it better, and I’m seeing the movie in my head as I’m writing it, so I’m not really walking onto the set, wondering "How do I accomplish this?"
