Make a choice

A lot of the time, when you're making decisions about a scene, you can be bothered, slowed down, thwarted even, by trying to make the "right" choice. We talk a lot in the studio about there being "no right or wrong," but we then go on to work on making our choices about relationship, circumstances and especially objective the most exciting and active we can. So in effect, we're still trying to make "the right choice."

So -- how to start? Make a choice, any choice and develop it. Do this in class and when working on your own -- land on something and then work it through. It'll change, mutate, grow, evolve and if you stick with it, you'll find yourself with a setup that excites you, intentionally, emotionally and physically -- and when you're working from that sort of place, you'll be compelling to watch -- and that's the final test.

It's more important to begin the choice making process than it is to produce the best choice immediately. Decide and develop.
