15 Total D-bag Moves On Film Sets By Big-Time Hollywood Directors
The director is the ruler and arbiter of what happens and doesn't happen on a set. They are the leader of the film or TV project. They can make or break careers and movies as a whole. It's a position made for those who can wield such power toward creative ends. It is also a position that leads itself toward egotistical choices, arrogance, and outright douchebaggery.
