“Simply put, Rupert Wainwright is the best director I have worked with on any bid anywhere. There are a few of reasons to say this:

First, he doesn’t let his ego get in the way. He listens to the client and he listens to others who are helping to shape the project. He wants to make a film for the client, not himself.

Second, he has an excellent creative sense and contributes great ideas to the process.

Third, he is a fine writer, so you get strong script ideas that work out and sound natural.

Fourth, he has a strong eye and produces visually powerful work.

Fifth, he is willing to work until everyone likes the product. He’ll still be working when you think you’re satisfied.

Sixth, he is a professional director who gets good work out of his actors, and who takes professional measures while filming so that he has enough shots on film to get a wide range of outcomes without having to go back and shoot more and spend more. He is a passionate teammate.”
