So a year ago I tried to direct a play and I needed a More Important Person™to take me on and they did but they they were bad at communicating and then quit their job and my project died. I'm thinking of collecting my own group of mediocre actors and doing it myself, is this reasonable?
oh hell yeah. maybe even find a type of work that you can do all by yourself. that might be a completely different approach than what you have in mind. but there is one good thing about working alone is, nothing can stop you
