Sometimes creativity is a compulsion, not an ambition.

You dream as an actor's director of letting moments breathe through two-shots.

If there's a criteria that really gets me interested in a work besides any type of personal interaction with the theme, it's if I feel like this is the right piece of work for that director at that moment in their career.

In drama, I think, the audience is a willing participant. It's suspending a certain kind of disbelief to try to get something out of a story.
