Hollywood actress Helen Hunt was so scared of appearing bossy in her directorial debut Then She Found Me, she took on the lead role herself. The Oscar winner admits working both sides of the camera allowed her to spend less time frantically instructing actors.

She says, "I had 27 days to make the movie, and I literally don't think I could have made it with another actress in the part. I couldn't have made her work all night and not sleep, I couldn't have made her change in the middle of the street and run to the next location, and I didn't have time to explain the movie to more than one person in each scene."
