SI WALL-Director
INTRODUCTION
Hi, my name is Si Wall and i'm a story teller. That's how I see my job as a director. For me personally, a story well told is a piece of art and each story brings with it different challenges. From a commercial to a movie, there's always a message that needs to be delivered and that's my job, to tell a story to it's fullest potential.
MORE ABOUT THE DIRECTOR.
I guess I have been extremely lucky, as a family member was also in the industry, so from an early age, I have felt comfortable being around a creative environment, from Theatre to on-set. I love the way the creative process works and watching something come to life in my opinion, is an honour.
I am fascinated by human relationships, not just the 'boy meets girl' kind, but those little relationships we form every day of our lives. Those small and seemingly unimportant relationships, the friendships we forge or the working relationships we either love or reluctantly endure. The human spirit is both complex and facinating and something I am keen to explore when filming.
HOW I WORK.
I think one of the major roles or a director is to bring the energy and the buzz to a set, to set the enthusiasm and to watch it filter down through the cast and crew. It's easy to overlook this, especially with a tight deadline and a tired crew, but for me, it's a critical part of my role. I like to let everyone have a voice too, every opinion is important, from cast and crew, down to runners and caterers. I am quite happy to have my eyes opened to an idea or perspective by someone with a slightly different take on things. It's all part of the creative process and if it helps the production, even by the smallest percentage, then it's still a step towards our goal. I also like to be involved from the word 'GO'. As soon as I am involved in a project, then I would be expected to be involved in every decision from that moment onwards. Story developments, re-writes, casting, right through to the final cut and the first screening, it's just the way I like to work.
WHAT'S NEXT?
Well if you think I am a suitable candidate for your next production, then drop me a line or give me a call as soon as possible. Ideally I would like to read a synopsis as early on as possible and then arrange a meeting and talk the project through. I am comfortable having several projects on the go at any one time, but when I am shooting, I can commit to only one at a time, so the earlier I am involved, the better, as it makes my scheduling easier.
If the project goes ahead, then i'm yours until the initial screening.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Bye for now!
