Acting is my passion, possibly more than directing, and I have an expensive project. Not ridiculously expensive, but more than before.
So if it's my money on the line, and I want to make a good impression and make a good movie, what is better? There are only a few roles, and they involve the majority of screentime. So I can either be in front of the camera or behind it. I want to do something more than just produce it. I would like either to act in it or direct.
If it's my money on the line, which is better? A different director might very well do a better job, and he will be directing my acting, so I can just concentrate on following his/her directing, while I control the producing side of things. However, in the end I will have a lot of control over the post production since it's my budget, but I don't know if a lot of directors would have a problem with that or not, even if they said they will not at first? What do you think?
On the other hand, if I direct it, than I have a lot more control over my product, and this may be a good thing, assuming that I can do just as good of a job, as a possibly more experienced director.
What do you think? Acting is my passion, but with directing, I may have more control over my money, which is better than less experience per say?
