Less Is More: Embracing Minimal Direction on Set

Brian Cutler highlights that professional actors won’t get many notes from directors during filming, as they’re hired to perform with minimal direction. He advises actors to avoid overanalyzing or expecting frequent feedback, as extensive notes are typical in training environments, not on professional sets. Cutler emphasizes that being able to work independently is essential to thriving on set, where simplicity and self-reliance are key to maintaining a smooth and comfortable workflow.
