Academy Award nominee actor Jackie Earle Haley known for his roles in “Watchmen,”
“Breaking Away” and “Little Children,” “Criminal Activities” is his directorial debut

Haley’s
directorial debut was inspired way back during “The Bad News Bears” when he had
always wanted to direct, from then, he has paid attention to each and every
detail of the movie set he’s in. “I think I knew camera geography by the time I
was 12 or 13. I remember when I was 11, and my parents were completely aware of
this, and they bought me a Super 8 MM, that’s film, not video, camera along
with a little plastic editor and projector.
And this was back when you had to like, you know, film was on a reel,
and you had to splice it with scissors, and you had to glue the stuff
together,” Haley admits.
