Matthew Miele, Filmmaker of Always at The Carlyle Documentary: The biggest mistake I ever made (and it was an inadvertent one), when I first was on set as a director, I didn’t spend time with the crew.

I had no clue except for what I learned in school. But in school you do little videos and you’re not really directing a full on feature…(Watch the video interview and trailer here on FilmCourage.com).
