Making an independent film takes talent, ambition, knowledge, salesmanship, persistence, and a bit of luck doesn't hurt either. For actors to do their best work, they must be willing to be totally open, to experiment and allow all that is inside to be exposed. To accomplish this at the highest levels requires tremendous discipline.
Actors work with their emotions, their experiences, traumas, feelings, and memories.

Some directors say they must concentrate primarily on the inherent beauty in the narrative and dialogue patterns in the script. Other directors are occupied primarily with the performance of actors.
