Creative filmaking: Plenty of Rope

From the reading it is important to understand each individuals role in the film making process. We often times are visionaries and want to see the very thing that we imagined. However this can be limiting because we are really missing out on the opportunity to collaborate. The book says that the best directors are the ones who give you "plenty of rope" to work with. This breeds creative leeway. By collaborating we lose ourselves and our vision becomes greater than what we can imagine. With the right preparation and creative leeway true originality and authentic productions can be more be the result.
