The way brainwashing works is subtle and takes a long time.
I was really into writing short fiction and also photography when I was a kid.
It's sort of one ongoing process where writing ends and directing starts.
When I was a kid, I was afraid of large group of conforming people.
I won't rewrite on set, but I'll just trim the fat.
I always try to keep the confidence of the actors, and try my best to make them feel comfortable or confident.
