Throughout her 30s, actress Elizabeth Banks approached acting as a volume business.
She's taken on 70 roles, though not all of them were fantastic career moves.
Around 10 years ago, while shooting The 40-Year-Old Virgin, she started thinking about a second career behind the camera.
Banks studied director Judd Apatow as he worked on the set, a habit that she carried over to other films and other directors.
Eventually, she got her first directing experience the customary way by doing shorts.
First, she did a chapter for Movie 43, the Farrelly brothers' 2013 anthology comedy; next she directed a comical PSA for the American Heart Association.
Banks hardly has given up on acting. In fact, she's working in front of the camera more than ever with four appearances in 2015 productions already.??
