alongside becomes a mandate. Wearing a few hats

with a shore of brainiac directors, producers,
dramatic actors, which introduce you with their
version and colour of filmmaking. Be proactive,
and reach out. Collaborate wherever you find an
opportunity. Dont, shy or step back, always take
chances wherever you see growth. Consciously,
initiate open communication among fellow
directors. As a director, lead warmly which can
further inspire generations coming.

in script development helps as it would help you
to knock out some different profiles. Pay a good
attention to character arc, dialogues and story
structure. Happily build a strong narrative
around which derives the memorable cinematic
experience, says Paul Haggis.
