Directors shouldn’t be allowed to be film critics… Tearing down another’s labor of love is like telling them how ugly their kid is. It’s amazing how dismissive people can be of so much blood, sweat, and tears, but a filmmaker should be more sensitive lest they be targeted for their non-perfect film.
notes for myself after shooting my first feature, Greyscale. I recently wrapped and want to keep the lessons I learned fresh, as well as keep a bit of a scrapbook of pictures and videos from production.
If this helps you out as a new director/filmmaker, wonderful. I learned so much on my first major outing.

Feel free to email and share lessons you've learned on (any) set and I'll work on including the most helpful ones in.
