Gore Verbinski
American Director

But I'm also looking for something else to happen, an accident or something. You're focused on the story you intend to tell and then you have to have a peripheral net out to catch these accidents.

I think we need to get it back to where parents and coaches have more of a say than peripheral people, but that's easier said than done.
