On this edition of UCLA Next take an irreverent look at Hollywood’s bad boy renegades, who’ve turned away from the studio system to craft a market of their own. What does it take to make it from film school to the set of an independently financed feature? And from there to the hallowed red carpet during awards season? Featured are visits to Sundance, the Oscars and the Independent Spirit Awards, along with movie clips and insider interviews with Francis Ford Coppola, Alexander Payne, Brad Silberling and Geoff Gilmore, to name a few.

What makes a great director? Having a vision for your film is only the tip of the iceberg. The imagination part is relatively easy. What every film director needs to have in abundance are ways to communicate that vision to their team. Not only do you need to be a great communicator but both team leader and team player. Today s great filmmakers no longer hide behind the megaphone and dictate their instructions to crew and actors but instead listen and allow their team to contribute. The end result is one in which not only the cast and crew feel proud and enjoy but then allows this passion to filter through to its inevitable audience. So how do you become one of these great directors? Well that is up to you and your desire to make engaging movies with cast and crew who would willingly work with you time and again, and also a little guidance.
