Writer/Producer Gary Ross, writer/producer of Seabiscuit, Pleasantville, & Dave, talks about the leadership required to make a film in our interview with him (see "5 Minute Playbacks" section on our homepage).

He says:

"The best way to get something out of someone, to motivate them to be there best is, thru example and getting them to feel safe enough to contribute to the process."

"If I take the bat out of their hands, then I'm only editing the film as well as I can edit it, or acting as well as I can act it, it would be crazy ... what you want is for them to feel your enthusiasm and your vision for what the movie's gonna be."

Are you inspiring your team? Does your team feel safe to contribute to the process?

Gary Ross is the writer, director and producer of the new film, Tale of Despereaux. An inspiring story of courage, kindness, forgiveness and challenging the process. WATCH THE TRAILER!
