Panaji, Jan 23 (UNI) Renowned film maker Chaitanya Tamhane has said that 90 per cent of director's work is that of a manger.
Sharing his views during virtual ‘In-Conversation’ session with Bollywood Hungama’s Faridoon Shahryar at 51st International Film Festival of India (IFFI) here, he said,''A good director has to be a good manager. 90 per cent of the work is just that. The filmmaker is the conductor of an orchestra. Very little scope of idealism in it.”
''There is no formula when you are shooting a film. Finance is a problem for most independent film-makers. Multiple variables help in zeroing in on a budget. Shooting in a place like Mumbai will, of course, be costlier. It also depends a lot on the working style of the Director. Independent film-makers need to spend more responsibly. I personally assert a lot of control on financial aspects of film-making.”
