His pitch "I'm a good director. I relate very to the actors. I get good performances. I motivate the crew to work quickly and well. I come prepared. I shoot efficiently. I rarely need overtime. I compose interesting shots that are also cuttable as coverage. I tell the story and my shows always play well. If I do you show it may be we'll get along and want to work together again. I have many repeat credits. It may be we won't hit it off. But the bottom line is, I'll be directing an entertaining show that makes us all look good."
