Its not like, being a first time director, theyre throwing Aaron Sorkin scripts at you.

I cant tell you how many scripts I read that are shit.

So this script was the closest thing to that and it just felt manageable.

I liked wearing both hats, he said.

Im a bit of a control freak so I enjoyed the responsibility.

But he also admitted that the very thing he liked about the script made it challenging to direct.

Youll double your workload over the night.

You really learn all your little crutches, your tricks, and your moves.

You realize that editors know where all the bodies are buried.

I wanted to call every editor Ive ever worked with and say, Im so sorry.

Dont tell anybody what I do.

Its really eye opening.

You remember the process that you were going through from take to take.

One person that Evans relied on for his expertise during the filming of the movie was cinematographer John Gulesarian.

Being a first timer you dont necessarily have the technical lingo to express the look you want.

In that film, what is that?

How can we do that?

But he was there for every step of the way including storyboards, scouting and all that.

I did talk to some guys, he said.

They knew I was doing it.

The Russos, Edgar Wright, and even Mark (Kassen,Before We Goproducer), who directedPuncture.

Dont pretend to know it all you dont.

Ask for help if you need it, and trust the talent of the departments.

You have to check your ego at the door and be willing to look foolish.

Listen, I love acting and I will always love acting, he said.

Being a creative person, I think most creative people are relatively fickle.

I think we search for an outlet and I think that evolves.

Thats the beauty of being creative; it changes from day to day.

Youre not a painter.

Youre not a songwriter.

Who knows how that will evolve, who know when that will change.

Without the Marvel films I never would have this opportunity (to direct), he elucidated.

Thats just the nature of the foreign pre-sale model.

So its certainly coloring my experience.
