Le Anne of Tinsel And Tine | 70 | - Got a chance to interview the female director, Jessie Nelson - Jessie: It wasn't so much that the parts weren't coming, but I didn't enjoy auditioning all day and driving around the city and not having control of my creative space. I like to be creative everyday. So I realized at that point if I began to write, then whether someone was hiring me or not, I could always be creating and writing the kind of movies that I want to see. So with the help of a writer friend, I learned how to write, and still feel as if I'm learning, as it's a craft, like a musician. Then, I quickly learned in Hollywood how little control a writer has over their own material, so that's when I realized I also needed to learn how to direct. (full review) |
