'We have a shorthand, you know? We know each other so well.'
The Big Picture Often when you hear about a film's director, it will usually be one person. However, many films are co-directed, too, whether it just be two directors or more depending on the project. One such film is Sally El Hosaini and James Krishna Floyd's Unicorns, which premieres at this year's Toronto International Film Festival.
When speaking to Collider's Perri Nemiroff, Hosaini and Floyd — who are also married — shared what surprised them the most about co-directing. As they both have their own styles and methods of working, Floyd revealed that they "expected it to be more difficult, really, because we both have opinions, we both are comfortable in our work, and we feel we know what we want now in our careers.
"[A]ctually, very rarely did we disagree, and when we had tiny little disagreements, which are inevitable in the creative process, I think we always made the right decision for the film. It was great. It was a dream. And look, on this film, like a lot of independent films, you have a lot more creative control and breathing space, which I think helps in this kind of situation.
Co-Directing 'Unicorns' Benefitted the Cast Floyd and Hosaini's process not only helped them make the film, but the cast also felt the positive effects of their co-directing. Cast members Ben Hardy and Jason Patel shared how Floyd and Hosaini's relationship helped everything run smoothly. Hardy stated that the relationship is part of "what made it so special.
Patel thought that Floyd and Hosaini's differing opinions brought "multiple perspectives" that caused him and the others to be conscious about what decisions they made for certain scenes. He shared that the duo's passion trickled down to the cast, as well: "And what’s good is that because they have that rapport, that relationship, they’re both so passionate about it.
