Film Directors

Film directors, an informative, fun look at their biographies and the movies they've brought to life for your enjoyment.

Picture This

The scene has been rehearsed, the actors are in place, the director is beside the camera and everyone on the set is focused as the director says these famous words-

"Quiet on the set - lights, camera - and action."

You've read or heard the phrase above so many times. It's a moment of magic on any movie set.

Now imagine the director and the director's team going over the movie script line-by-line, page-by-page as they prepare to bring the writer's screenplay to life.

The Long Journey From Script To Screen

Their stories are fascinating, their struggles to bring the vision of their movie to life is sometimes the very stuff that movies are made of - drama and struggles, twists and turns. From sometimes endless script re-writes, to casting problems and dealing with the studios.

Then One Day

Your favorite director finds themselves standing beside the camera, ready to shoot the first scene of their movie - the movie they've struggled to make - the movie they've dreamed of making.
