David Fincher pulled Cameron Britton aside on the set of Mindhunter and said something that changed everything. 🎬 We're not going to spoil it. Watch the clip. What we will say is this — when the director of Fight Club, Gone Girl, and Se7en gives you a note on how to act? You listen. You internalize it. And then you share it with every actor who needs to hear it. 🙏🏾✨️🎬Cameron Britton, Emmy-nominated First Take Masterclass student, is passing that wisdom straight to you! 🎭 🎓 Train where Cameron trains → firsttake.org #DavidFincher #CameronBritton #Mindhunter #ActingTips #OnSet FirstTakeActing WorkingActor ActorLife FilmActing spidernoir by @firsttakeacting
