I understand what the director is trying to do.

The director tried to be a good loser, but now he was in a jam.

The director can try every combination and see if any are consistent with everyone's demands.

The end shows that the director has tried to make things a little different.

For one, costs will rise as more directors try to get a piece of the action.

The director tried to help and sustained heavy arm injuries.

No profits were made even though several directors tried new things.

The director was trying to recreate the feeling of being in a foreign country where you don't speak the language.

The director is clearly trying to put a gentle spin on not very good news.

As of now, the directors are still trying to raise funds for the film.
