Terry Gilliam School of Film: 10 Lessons for Directors

nevver:

  1. Growing up is for losers.
  2. Film school is for fools.
  3. Auteurism is out. Fil-teurism is in.
  4. Put your ideas in a drawer. Take them out as needed.
  5. All you’ve really got in life is story.
  6. Command the audience with your lens.
  7. Nothing can defeat a director who is one with his actors.
  8. Surround yourself with improvisers.
  9. Directing is not for the faint-of-heart. Or the sane.
  10. Be an enlightened despot.
  • Bonus Lesson: And whatever you do, don’t ever work with the Weinsteins.

amy-blue: “I mean, making a film is so scary and there’s such a kind of void that you’re working from initially. I mean, you can have all the ideas and be as prepared as possible, but you’re also still bringing people together and saying, “Trust me”, even when you don’t necessarily trust every element. You’re making something out of nothing and it requires so many people’s collaborative efforts and participation that it seems like at any moment it could just fall through the cracks and be gone forever.” - Todd Haynes

amy-blue: “Directing ain’t about drawing a neat little picture and showing it to the cameraman. I didn’t want to go to film school. I didn’t know what the point was. The fact is, you don’t know what directing is until the sun is setting and you’ve got to get five shots and you’re only going to get two.” - David Fincher
