Jeez the guy has ptsd, the whole face your fears thing just feels like a fundamental misunderstanding of what the problem actually is here. Just let him be. Seriously. And no offence but who actually gives a crap about your student film other than the people working on it? Its definitely not worth putting someone through THIS for the sake of what? Art? The director needs a reality check when it comes to his priorities

    UGH THANK YOU! like who df does he think he is?? He thinks he’s some fucking big shot who’s gonna put out the next best movie, like news flash—you’re fucking not. He literally broke down crying and begging to shorten the monologue, and he’s just going on about how it’s gonna benefit him…he lowkey pissing me off, I would’ve told him I’m done doing this bs.

    Dude, I understand what you're saying but Tae-in is going to need to get over his PTSD sooner rather than later to become an actor. He shouldn't just "let him be" or else he'll be stuck with that problem until he lands an actual job with a studio and then gets fired, it's better to handle it in a controlled environment with someone he trusts. Also obviously he's trying hard on this film because it's something he cares about If bro's gonna be a director than he's not gonna halfass his work, especially if you can use this film as experience to land a job. Could he have cut down the monologue, yes, but it's his film and he wants to portray a specific feeling when watching it, it's the actor's job to be able to bring that out.

    Bruh... he in fact does not "need to get over his PTSD". The dude needs therapy not some guy he's had sex with pushing him into experiences that trigger him because that guy thinks he knows what's best.
    It is also NOT the actors job to go through with whatever the director says if it risks the health or well-being of anyone on set. A good director works with the hurdles and challenges rather than brute forcing them, but instead of making accommodations, like removing everyone from set for this scene, he is too stubborn to even consider it.
    Don't get me wrong I guarantee that this will end with a "wow you really helped me face my fears" thing because at the end of the day thats just how the genre works but in reality this would absolutely fuck someone up and be a huge scandal if it were a real movie.

    I didn't mean "get over it" I just didn't know what else to say my bad I agree he needs therapy and maybe my opinion is dead wrong because I've never experienced PTSD before but I have tried working through being traumatized, sometimes tackling it head on is the best way to deal with it but then again I don't know I'm not a psychologist. I don't think the actor should comply with whatever the director says, I'm just saying that when it comes to a monologue that's part of the actors job to bring out what the director intended. For the "removing everyone from the set" thing, that's super smart I don't think he's being stubborn tho, I just think he didn't think about it cause I didn't Sorry if I came off super arrogant btw

    He gotta stop being a bitch about it eventually tho if he can’t even do a school project he might as well quit acting altogether or he’ll get worse trauma after he gets fired from a real job.
