What do Michael Bay, David Fincher, Ridley Scott, Guillermo del Toro and Edgar Wright have in common? They all started their careers making television commercials. Who reading this are making commercials and corporate videos but want to make feature films?

I love what you said there about REFOCUSing to tell a solid story.
Hey Roy, a horror writer ones told me he hated it that a director who came out of shooting comercials, always fucked up his screenplays because he only wanted to shoot pretty pictures and had now idea how to tell a proper story.
