A movie director is in charge of the creative and technical aspects of a film. This person directs actors, oversees the script and editing process, and manages the many departments involved with production. A director can be responsible for one project or multiple projects at once, depending on their experience level within the industry. A film director’s work can range from directing low-budget indie films that take months or even years to complete, to having overall creative control over multimillion-dollar projects with a production schedule spanning several weeks or less.
