Sorry, Dick!
 

I am not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, I admit! I'm a bit slow these days. Michael, you are a welcome guest on my set any time and thank you for your kind words.

I forgot To Mention...
 

I owe thanks to my big brother, Bruce, who telephonically helped me spitball the flashlight idea. Before every one of these challenges I phone him to pick his brain for ideas since he comes up with some real doozies at times. Thanks, Bruce, for helping me out. You're crazy, but a great brother!

Hi Hugh!
 

Wonderful job Hugh - Very funny!

This was excellent. I thought your timing with the casts delivery and the editing was great. Each character delivered and their acting was quite natural. I think this is what made the film so good.

I can relate to a loose directing style and like allowing the actors to have more of the concept of the scene in their mind rather than the "exact line". Of course it is improtant to have a nice blend and I'd say you did it well here.

The blooper reel was hilarious too. Love it!

Bravo Hugh and congratulations on another, well deserved win.

Happy Holidays!

Thanks, Brad!
 

When dealing with non-actors, there's no other way to direct other than allowing them to just run with it. I am glad you liked this and it means a lot to me since I've always admired your work.

Happy New Year!
