Sometimes you have to remind them that you have their back and that they’re not going to look foolish. The cast was filled with people whose work I admired, so I was already on their side, and sometimes you have to remind an actor if you want them to do something and they don’t see the way you see it initially. When you’re writing characters, you have to stand in their shoes, so I was pretty comfortable with that. Even when you’re doing an animated film, if you’re writing a story, you have to think about that stuff. So talking about things on that level, and talking about what the character’s intent was, was not unfamiliar territory for me, because it’s a lot of the same stuff. I dealt with that a certain amount, and I’ve been involved in theater to some degree, and then taking acting classes to help me be a more effective director.
