  Bullshit. Directors don’t get paid for pre-production. That’s a FACT.

      Indeed.

      Further listening on this topic: youtu.be/c-9NWamSHao at about 45 minutes in, she talks about this little-known hardship for directors.

        She doesn’t say anywhere that she doesn’t get paid for directing in that video.

        If you read the article the issue is this:

        Directors, he said, were not paid to promote their films, although distributors are believed to fund their expenses.

        It the press tour they don’t get paid for.

  He will get other jobs that will make him money from this, but this one? Not really.

      I didn’t just read the article, I listened to the podcast the article is based on. Nothing I said was untrue.
