    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.

        She said that she doesn’t get paid for anything other than being on set basically. Being on set is about 10% of the workload a director takes on.

        Not sure why you feel the need to refute the things that I’m writing that are objective facts. The article talks about one thing. I’m talking about more than that one thing. I’m talking about THE FULL EXPERIENCE of being a director and where their money goes.

        Even on massive tentpole franchises, up and coming directors barely get paid more than the key grip if you factor in the amount of free work they do.
