First-time director Amir Faress Amir wanted to make sure that the vision he had would not only be fully realized, but he also wanted a seasoned professional who could make sure he didn’t miss anything and do it on a budget. I did everything I could to pass on my twenty-plus years of experience by not only providing shot-by-shot storyboards for Amir, but with my experience in working in all three phases of production, I helped him learn to communicate with his crew more effectively.
