I've been directing since 2002 and have a decent line of work.
I often bring my friend to set to help me on shoots.
He has the look of a director (simple clothes, director hat, facial hair, etc.) He likes to recite a lot of facts from 1960s-1990s films. Maybe that's impressive? He just started directing. In fact his last thing he directed, everyone walked off set.
I do both acting and directing. I often teach him proper framing and how to talk to people/actors. People are surprised when he gets on set because he says "wow this shot looks amazing" when he was shooting u into the actress' nose.
He likes to shoot gritty, realistic stuff. I prefer fantasy. Maybe that's a huge part in it?
I found out recently that two of my big connections went around me to contact him privately to direct their feature. I felt a little betrayed by them but also happy for my friend.
I'm not sure how to roll with it. I'm wondering if I should brag about myself more, I tend to stay humble and modest about my work. A lot of actors have said I'm the best director Theyve worked with. But he seems to get all the rich clients..
