film directors
Behind camera bosses
Film directors are the creative leaders who oversee the making of movies, guiding actors' performances, shaping visual style, and unifying all elements into a coherent artistic vision.
The director interprets the screenplay and makes countless decisions about how scenes will look and feel: Hitchcock is among the most influential film directors in cinema history.
Some directors also write, produce, or edit their own work.
