Directions: Director's Statement Research

http://www.creativeskillset.org/film/jobs/direction/article_3880_1.asp

This website gave me more of an in sight into what I was doing, It tells you about what a director does and the responsibilities, plus it says that a director should be creative and not hired until a first draft of the script is completed.

This link is for the Director's statement front the film The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.
I feel that this didn't really help me with my Director's Statement as the director Stieg Larsson didn't explain why he did what he did. He just explained how he became the director of this film not what he did to make this film successful.
