This is his second short film; his directorial debut,&nbsp;Hero, won the Directorial Discovery Award at the Rhode Island International Film Festival. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-88e68cd9b053a485d962b98ca7e0c10a wp-block-paragraph\">.Cent: <strong>As an Actor, how does this enable you as a director, or can it be a hindrance?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f32d05ace3f8040afd4d17abe52b8b8f wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>I found it a real help, mostly. Directing at its core, is simply communicating, right? That\u2019s what the verb \u201cto direct\u201d means at the end of the day. And actors I find are almost always thoughtful, empathetic communicators. I\u2019m often amazed, when I\u2019m working as an actor, how bad directors can be at the essential skill of simply communicating a vision and making the team feel confident &amp; appreciated enough to deliver it well.&nbsp;That being said, there\u2019s a whole heap of technical stuff I am totally oblivious to, which was probably a massive pain in the ass for my DoP, <\/em><\/strong><em>(director of photography),<\/em><strong><em> editor, producer etc, but exactly why I had a great team to help me get there.

Once you&#8217;re on set, the skill set of being an actor &amp; director is really complementary<\/em><\/strong>.<strong><em> I think. For me, it\u2019s about being prepared, but leaving space for better ideas to arrive in the moment.

The people visiting the space come and go, and also, the people who live there and die there. The people may change, but the artwork is perpetual. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a473184ee2416c5aba5656173a786e19 wp-block-paragraph\">From starchy Victorians to the bright young things via British under nazi bombing up to school children visiting it as a modern-day art museum. The artworks, forever watchful, waiting and never disturbing. Until one day, when their eyes finally meet.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image00003.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image00003.jpg?resize=580%2C326&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-179754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image00003.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image00003.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image00003.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-fcb9aa1cd99eb8ec4df0bdd83746c3f9 wp-block-paragraph\">.Cent: <strong>Where did the story idea come from?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-38e917871026b814ed8ccff822fe65e3 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>I wish there was a really cool answer for this, but the truth is: in the shower.&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4ce33b157105935629199272d37bd6c7 wp-block-paragraph\">Freddie Fox is already well-known and regarded for his acclaimed acting career on stage, TV and film.
