Ken Loach's advice for directors

“It’s what films you make, and not how you make them, that’s the most important question. Which stories do you tell and who do you put on screen?”
Director Ken Loach on why understanding history is so important in storytelling, his most important collaborators, learning the ropes as a young filmmaker and why editing’s a job for the winter!

It's sad that this video gets so little views. Ken Loach is brilliant.
