War Story:
On one of my first jobs as director, I was working on a small indie film and using a lot of non-professional actors, due to a lack of budget. I was very young and ambitious and thought I could start off just making full-length features with no budget with no problem. This really came back to haunt me as production went on. Some people nearly refused to acknowledge the directions or didn't understand them. This was in part due to my own lack of experience. My leading actor had some family problems and had to leave for a month and we had to halt production because we only had so much we could shoot without him in it. It was a nightmare, and we never finished it. I have since moved on to commercials. I will probably someday try for another feature, but I've been scared to touch them since.
