Your efforts are appreciated. You certainly have put a great deal of thought into this.
The problem? Most of us here don't make movies. We watch them.
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

Yeah, less is more.
Directors have just one or two trademarks.
Like old Hitch and his cameos in all of his movies.
Very subtle and simple which is how it should be.

So when is your first film coming out?
Based on his ideas it will be the most twisted, awkward, bizarre, surreal, darkest and just outright craziest Gilligan's Island remake you could ever see!

For starters, I'd never direct a Hallmark Christmas movie!

Those are the only ones I'd direct Margo
Well, maybe just the one with a rich successful American woman going to Europe for an important business trip just prior to her being married to that guy she doesn't quite love but knows it will please everyone back home. Only for…
…but just the one!

So basically, you want to make the same movie, different settings, over and over. Gotcha!

Many of the great directors have used the same actors in a number their films.
Hitchcock, Scorsese, Altman come to mind….
You go right ahead and use the lovely Winnie in each and every one of your films!

- Improvised script
- Not much music. It's a cheap way to elicit an emotional response.
- No color filters. Natural light when possible.
- No CGI
- Natural dialogue. Nothing too snappy. Mostly silence.
- Normal looking people. No one above a 6, just like in real life.
- Bleak atmosphere, just like in real life.
- Mundane subject matter, like going to the store or cleaning a kitchen. Might lead somewhere, might not. You only know if you watch.
- Short. Hour and a half tops.

Every movie, no matter the genre would have a scene in which the protagonist randomly pulls down their pants and spreads their butthole for the camera.
Buttholes are never seen outside of pornographic movies so I want to pioneer their inclusion in mainstream cinema.

Are we talking about horror movies or wot? Epic scores, twists, no happy endings.. I'd go for psychological attacks over jump scares as for me personally it is the only thing that destroys me when it comes to movies. Jump scares and creepy music are nothing in comparison to how a decent movie leaves you feeling once it's over. I would want my audience to be destroyed. Absolutely devastated. Too upset for icecream afterwards.
