characters should act. My job as director was to take these
ideas and transform them into something that works for the
whole film not just the one story or the one character. Usually
this can cause a lot of problems on a set where the writer is
being directed. But it worked to our advantage, because the
GREEN LINE ended up being scattered throughout the shooting
schedule, having Christian already comfortable with the character
made for an easier transition on days when we didn't have much
time to rehearse.
