Whenever I have given lectures to a large audience before, I have always looked for an ending that gives a 'wow' feeling.
When you go to standup, there seems to be a common denominator of some form of need or want for validation from the audience that maybe you were lacking as a kid.
When I go for a project, I wonder what underpinning a project will have that's going to give the audience some emotional access to it.
It's very tricky to throw a morally flexible character onto the screen and have an audience empathize. It's always an exercise in restraint.
