Josiah Bhola Hillaire Josiah, tips won’t help you be a director.
First ask the question why do you want to be a director? Then - What is there within you that moves you towards this? Do you have the skills to understand and nurture the talent that surrounds a production, in front of and behind the camera? Are you someone who can see the bigger picture, to tell the story and make the production successful?
If you can answer those questions and none of your answers have anything to do with a (false) sense of the romance of being the man, the director, then maybe you can start on this journey.
Try with short one and you Will find do you Want to be Director or not...
The surprises (though we tend to dwell on the bad ones). When an actor (or DP or editor or ...) brings an interpretation you never dreamed of and it's so much more amazing than what you thought was "perfect" in your mind's eye. When an audience responds differently than you expected (especially when different from previous audiences to the same film). Examples - your big ta-daa moment gets no reaction but a throwaway moment gets a big response. Even a negative response can be enlightening (sometimes it's the wrong audience, but sometimes you just guessed wrong - but that's OK - make another one!)
