lol.
This is so true.
I am happy to say that I've gotten to a point that I can screen the directors I can work with - so I only choose the ones I know care about the sound.
If you look at the top directors in the industry, they are all sound conscious.
Spielberg, Nolan, Tarantino, Cameron, the list goes on...
I think that's no coincidence to their success.
This you-tube video vaguely reminds me of the thread I had with the I, Creator director...
My favorite quote of a director is:
To me: "Sound is so important to this film. I will make sure you have everything you have to do your job."
To lighting: "Lighting is so important to this film. I will make sure you have everything you have to do your job."
To food services: "Food services is so important to this film. I will make sure you have everything you have to do your job."
and then not act on it.
