Director of TERMINUS (starring "THE VAMPIRE DIARIES" Todd Lasance and "THE LAST SHIP'S" Bren Foster) gives us an explanation for where he thinks cliché lives - filmmakers and screenwriters, listen to this conversation. He and I discuss the competing tension between contentment and complacency, rushed production schedules complicating filmic perspective, how self-congratulatory attitudes can lead to the production of "s**t" (haha) and whether achieving self-awareness, in the pursuit of a healthy creative life, is entirely informed by self-criticism. Also, for actors listening: what does this director think about the casting process.
