“Drove Quotes” to Remember:

The director’s first job is to believe.

The director’s second job is to give gifts.

The most important function of a set is to stay out of the way of the actors.

A director should only ever have to say 3 things to an actor:

  1. What are you doing?
  2. Why are you doing it?
  3. I don’t believe you.



New Phrase Coined During Festival:

“the dummy in the bed” – to describe a moment of complete surprise for the audience.



Participants Quotes about Stephen Drover:

Knowledgeable, approachable, insightful, accessible, respectful, personable, witty, funny, a great entertainer and storyteller, articulate, intelligent, a director’s director!
