This week on the podcast I break down some of the lessons I've learned working with actors on Low Budget and Micro Budget film productions. I talk about blocking, bad acting, then power of a good lead actor, the power shift on set and when to bend the rules. I also talk about working with Doctor Who actor Colin Baker and how my preconceived notions of how he'd behave on set were flipped upside down.
