In my personal experience with live theatre; I understand the commitment of the show director. The person who learns the show from inside to the very day of opening. The director will be there for casting, the first rehearsals, and premiering the show live. Once the show is steady, the director is there to make sure nothing changes, or that changes keep the shows intention. Along side that, it is the person handling the business of the show. There's no Business Like Show Business.
So to study the film director adds a new element. Not only do they have the same responsibilities, but the film director has people of different titles to work with as well. There is the side element of shooting the movie. Days are added into the schedule for not only rehearsing, but to shoot the scene many times for the directors intention.
The show director is a leader in all of the people they will work with; Performers, producers, technicians, and many more. To bring this production to life requires commitment and skill that is a marketable quality in any person. As you read this article, I hope it will enlighten people on the job title. In the open mindedness, people will come to respect the position and possibly open up opportunities for more positions in the near future.
As I broaden my study from a performance perspective, I hope that this search will help others as well.
