Names like Francis Ford Coppola or Satyajit Ray evoke images of pure magic brought to the screen by these talented directors. Directors transform ideas into screen-reality.

The director coordinates with a collaborative team of producers, actors, cinematographers, editors, production designers, sound designers, and many other crew members to realize his or her creative vision, from the very beginning to the end.
