he can be very, very technical. he came up in camera, so that's the way he leans, but he is also an actor (he swears he's going to stop, but also no one thought hereditary would make any money so he slipped in another role before his kind-of retirement from acting). he also gets kind of method-y for an actor, but doesn't have a lot of sympathy for anyone who chooses that route. he loves collaborative to a degree, at a certain point he's very decisive and, "we're doing it my way." he can come off as very intense and very serious (just think of jon snow's pensive stares - he does that a lot). but he does love to kick it with crew and cast on weekends, so he would've seen the lighter side to him.
