I know it's the same thing, but the term I used sounds more professional, especially if the director is sensitive about his craft.
Have you finished directing any films yet? What's your style like and what is your favorite genre?
My current favorite director is Michael Haneke, perverse but super brilliant.
I'm writing and producing for a local television show for the Armenian channel. I am also co-directing several episodes. The show is in English.
I am writing a short film which I will direct sometime this year. I'm hoping for this summer but we will have to see.
My style? Hm. Have you seen The Bicycle Thief? Ordinary People? How did you feel after watching it. That's my style.
I don't particularly have a favorite genre. I think a good storyteller must be able to tap into every genre respectively. I personally like to deal with drama, telling person stories and giving the audience an emotional rollercoaster to deal with. As we all know, with every drama, there's a little bit of comedy.
What is the name of this show? Well I definitely support up and coming Armenian directors, but often than not they disappoint me. I hope you'll be different.
I love good stories and more of a psychological exploration, but I hate melodramatic films which belong on ABC in the morning along with All my children and all that gibberish. Recently I found out about a Colombian soap opera titled "Without Breasts There is No Paradise." Isn't it clever, good old quality television. Meanwhile the stellar new show which has blown me away is "Mad Men." That's pure directorial genius. Have you seen it?

I completely understand you. I'll just make films the way I wish and we'll see what happens.

I have not.

So your style is neorealistic?
I guess you can say that but that would mean I don't explore imagination -- which I do. Like Charlie Kaufman who uses reality as a backdrop yet crafts a fantasy world which blend together with your imagination. My first film is quite similar, it touches on similar themes, if you enjoyed Eternal Sunshine.
