Narrator 10:40



Director: David M. Evans (iMDb)

He co-wrote Sandlot.
His niche is working with child actors.

Theme (interview)
Friendship

"Hollywood being what it is, you get pigeon-holed. It’s a blessing and a curse. For me more of a blessing, but every family oriented screenplay comes across my desk. I’m thankful."

"As a director, you have to be a number of things, a cajoler, a convincer, a big brother, a dad, a psychologist. all of those things."

"I am more an actor’s director than a technocrat. Emotion is the big deal with me. That’s what movies are, a single thing – emotion. If you get the emotions right and it strikes people honestly, you don’t lie to your audience. You employ all those things I just said to get the best performances out of your actors."

12:40 Freedom as a director. No one was barking orders at him or hanging things over his head.


"......but to me it’s not a baseball movie. It’s a movie about friendship."
