choosing directors
Perhaps the most exciting element of “Twelve” is the potentially vast difference
between all of the directors involved. Each writer/director was invited to be part
of the project based on his or her individuality. The directors were encouraged to
bring their distinctive styles to their segments within “Twelve.” This will ensure
that the final feature film will be a virtual mixed bag. It will be a rollercoaster of
genres, styles and approaches. The directors were also chosen based on their
strengths. While one of the filmmakers may excel in editing, another may have
more cinematography experience. This, again, will reinforce the film as a
collaborative.
