I just started to want to be more hands on, and again, because of the nature of this job which was to evaluate the writing apart from the production, I got clear on what a director did and I became interested in directing, so I started to do that in the late 80s.
Rob UrbinatiI like to get produced. I'm not saying I write to be commercial, I mean "Hazelwood High" they light a girl on fire, so it wasn't the most.
Rob UrbinatiBasically I was a theatre fanatic. I had a job with Home Box Office as a theatre consultant for a long time.
Rob UrbinatiI hadn't studied theatre and I hadn't studied actor training or anything, but I did have a sense of movement and composition, and what the final product would be like, but luckily I had friends who were good actors, who would help me get them, who would get themselves to the place where a good director should get them to build characters.
Rob UrbinatiI like to figure out what the production opportunities are for the things I'm interested in before I put pen to paper.
