Everything is discursive opinion instead of direct experience.
Quality is a direct experience independent of and prior to intellectual abstractions.
It was really an experience, being my first time directing a movie. The scenes that I was in, Brooke really directed me all the time. And the scenes that both of us were in, Brooke directed those. Come to think of it, Brooke directed most of the scen...
