Facts About Tom George

Advice: Tom George’s advice on the record to aspiring film directors is “Make stuff. Write scripts, film sketches, edit things, and work with actors whenever you can. It’s the best way to learn. Don’t get too obsessed with cameras. You need to know about them, but they’re just a tool. I don’t think good chefs are on websites reading about the latest ovens.
