Time management is a big part of the director's job.

I design my shots. I walk the rehearsal as the camera and say 'this is where I want to be... I want this look.

I use something that is a real staple in the directing world. It's called a dance floor. You lay it down so that it's so smooth you can roll around, and you can put furniture on top of it. It's seamless and you don't see it.

As one who loves literature, art, music and history, I've been deeply rooted in the Harlem Renaissance for many years.
