I walked onto a film set with a handsome cast and a director hired against my advice. The producer pulled me aside: 'The director is terrible.' So, I hatched a plan: 'Bad cop' me, 'good cop' producer. I told him, 'We need changes.' He towered over me, but I calmly stated, 'No more directing alone, no more lateness.' He was fired two days later. I never raised my voice. #FilmMaking #SetLife #DirectorDrama #ProblemSolving #BehindTheScenes #HollywoodStories #ConflictResolution #Professionalism #BusinessLessons #Storytelling by @joannefilm
