About this Quote

This quote by Brad Dourif speaks to the importance of the director in the filmmaking procedure. He stresses that the director is the most crucial individual in film, as they are the ones who choose where the cam goes. This remains in contrast to the theatre, where the 2 essential artists are the actor and the playwright. The director is the one who brings the story to life, as they are the ones who choose how the story is told. They are the ones who decide what shots to utilize, what angles to use, and how to edit the video. The director is the one who ultimately shapes the story and brings it to life. Without the director, the story would not be informed in the very same method. The director is the one who brings the vision of the story to life.
