Darious, I'm not an actor, but everything you said made a lot of sense to me. Your logic and ways to minimize a lot of problems by avoiding over-directing was clear and pre-emptive. Thanks.
I'll see if I can do an episode or two recommending what books I've found useful Gavin. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hey D, just letting you know. I'm directing my fist short based on a feature that I wrote. I take the over directing thing seriously, at the same time trying to be mindful for those actors that want more direction. I'll get you a link to the short when we're done so you can judge for yourself!
Nice. Definitely send me a link when you're done. Good luck and as long as you're aware of over-directing and you want to be a good direcotr who's mindful of his actors needs, you'll do just fine =)
