Directing as a Career

What training or skills do directors need? How can you begin your career toward becoming a director?

According Richard Walter, directors need "an ability to work supportively and nurturingly with actors." Though the director must give clear instructions, it is equally important for them to give them space to allow them to create their own character. The director may be the dead of the production, but they should be considered a collaborator that keeps the crew together. Shooting something everyday is a great place to start. By creating something everyday, skills of storytelling are bound to improve. Displaying these works on social media may be an output for the work that was created. Watching films critically may also help develop "a strong viewing sense of cinematic history."
