David R. Ellis Quotes

“Directing films obviously there’s a ton more responsibility rather than just coming in and directing the action on the film because you’re responsible for every little nuance in the film from fingernail polish to jewelry to wardrobe to hair and you’re dealing with actors, you’re dealing with studio critics, and studios. You’re responsible for budget, more responsibility on all fronts, but it’s a great art form!”
