Oh okay. And of course I try to avoid sci-fi, because it's more difficult to pull off on a smaller budget. For a small budget, I prefer to try a stab at directing a thriller, along the lines of something like Lifeboat (1944), in a small setting, with limited characters. But perhaps the downside of that, budget wise, is you need really good actors to sell it?
Is it true that a good director can bring out great performances?
What if the director is forced to work with actors who are not the best, because of budget and resources, so they are just stuck in a rock and a hard place. What's the best thing to do then?
Don't forget about Casting Directors. Unless you're someone like Taylor Hackford, they can be quite influencial.
As a director/boss/leader/whatever, how bad of a job must you have done to allow a poor product to be released, completely missing how incapable your staff/crew/actors were to begin with?
Is it true that a good director can bring out great performances?
