"My approach to directing is similar to how I see people in general. It's important to understand that everyone has a story with chapters you know and ones you don't that both influence the person they are and how they interact with the world. It's my job as a director to help the actors put each of these facets together to create believable and enthralling characters. It's a partnership and a collaboration. I don't tell the actors who to be but instead, guide them to that discovery. I don't prescribe to my designers what "the look" is. I work in tandem with them to tell the truth of the world while their artistry shines."
