Lyric writers, dialogue writers, script writers, choreographers, music directors, writers, photographers, actors, ad film makers, critics and now even dress designers too all turning to directing movies! What is it that intrigues them to leave the field that gave them fame, money and a position to reckon for? All this for something that's new/unknown? Why do they take the risk of inviting criticism? What is so exciting about directing that isn't there in own field or related fields? Even the good looking ones amongst these don't think of coming in front of the camera and prefer behind the scene work. Do they believe its a better way to connect with masses or is a cultivated/acquired dream?

well evry creative person has his own ideas of presenting. while making a movie 24 crafts r involved. the director combines all these n tries to bring the best. the movie is the director's baby. he chooses everything rgt frm wht kinda dialogues he wants, music he wants, if he is technically sound wud also discuss wid cinematographer regarding camera angles n color tone (eg. rgv). sometimes a director's n other creative's views may not match. but he is forced to work as per the director's pov. this creates some kinda of dissatisfaction to their creativity. thts whn they decide to plunge into direction.

according to me any1 can be a dirctor as long as they no wht they want 2 present. can visualise every frame while reading the script including the costumes, bmg etc. last but not the least have common sense. a dance director wud like to choreagraph a song in a particular way but if the director has other ideas n is serious abt it then there nuthing the DD can do. some of then take up direction 4 freedom.

as i have been in this field this is wht i percieve. u r free 2 disagree 😊 😊

Actually The Filmmaker Isn't really In control of much... I mean if you are
doing a movie with a huge star they always pick their finger into the script
and all this other stuff. Sometimes, ACTOR and ACTRESSES who control the
movie making... 🤢 Im not sure why they are becoming filmmakers maybe
because to Tell their story? Life story which these ppl( Lyrics writers,
dialogue writers, script writers, choreographers, music directors, writers,
photographers, actors, ad film makers, critics ) couldn't tell 😆 😆 aur
hum jaise bechaaare ... Short film bana bana kar thak gaye hain 😡 😡 😡
