Film Director
A film director controls a film's artistic and dramatic aspects and visualizes the screenplay (or script) while guiding the film crew and actors in the fulfilment of that vision.

The film director gives direction to the cast and crew and creates an overall vision through which a film eventually becomes realized or noticed.
