Cut To The Chase
Cut To The Chase – You might not be directing a Silent Era Movie but in today’s world when everything seems to be super urgent – the principle of getting to the crux of the issue quickly and cutting out any unnecessary baggage can be just as important now, as it was all those years ago.
