ABSTRACT
Directing an episode of television is a big responsibility. The producer, who gives you a job, must know that you will deliver both artistically and fiscally. How can producers be certain if you’ve never delivered before? They can’t; so every time a new director gets a shot, it is a leap of faith on the part of the producer. Your job is to earn the trust and respect of that producer (and studio and network who will also “approve you”) so that he wants to take that leap.
