Directing Movies - Chris #3

My Dilettante Life

Though movie stars may get tons of recognition, everyone knows that the true power in filmmaking sits in the director's chair. Today, I'm talking with film director Chris Lang about his work in films and how he's made his way up the ladder through various departments to develop his own vision and bring that vision to life directing his own movies. While Alfred Hitchcock may have been a notorious jerk behind the camera, Chris shares that for most folks, it's best to be brilliant AND kind to everyone working on your movie. One tip: don't watch movies with a director unless you want to hear about every technique and flaw. (This is the third of three episodes featuring guests named Chris.)
