Communicating. Directors do this all the time. It's how you get a client excited about choosing you for their high profile commercial. Or get producers comfortable with having you direct your favorite TV show. You do it whenever you inspire people to invest in your film, or be on your crew. And it's how you can punch-above-your-weight-class and land the best actors and directing opportunities.
Oren & Matt chat about why directors can't overlook their communication skills. And how often it's the throttle on your directing career. Will you go fast or slow?
