Edgar: My strength is having the main creative vision. But to make a film, undoubtedly, it’s about surrounding yourself with people with different strengths to bring to the table.
It’s about delegating responsibilities and trusting your team to tell you when it’s time to cut the rope. Many times, I would’ve loved to have kept working on a scene. But I had this great AD [assistant director] who kept us in check and on schedule. Without her, we’d still be working on the first scene. The nature of the beast is that things always go wrong on set, and there will always be something you could go back and improve.
Literally every crew member, down to our invaluable PA [production assistant], added to the film. They would come to me with all these little ideas, and I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, that’s amazing. Let’s run with it.’ It was just great to have a team that felt that they could voice their opinion.
There are also three business partners in my production company, Rising Again. This has its pros and cons. We always have to run things by each other. Sometimes we move a little bit slower, but with people, you go farther.Edgar: My strength is having the main creative vision.
