directorial choices

Heading into the homestretch and picture l o c k.

Or we shall see after this weeks test screening.  I had a couple of weeks where I went back into actor head I think- any note felt like one I should take and incorporate.  Right?  I mean these are the people standing on the outside looking in so they should be able to tell me what I'm doing is or isn't working.  Right?  Wrong.  Well sort of.  My amazing editor has reminded me that sometimes something just is a directorial choice.  And well if I want to do something a little stylized or different in service of telling a greater story than I feel like this of all times is the time I should.  Not to say that the smart good note isn't welcome.  Just when it comes down to taste I want to hold onto mine.
