About
Film directors create motion pictures, television shows, and video productions to entertain and inform a viewing audience. They may direct a short, instructional film for their municipality about jury duty or a big-budget, special-effects filled blockbuster for a nationwide release. Film directors oversee many if not all creative aspects of a film and are often involved in its post-production, including editing and sound design.
