Well, the director is very important, but the writer also is. I think some of the best cinema is when the director captures the writer's orginal intentions.

I know that when I write I can see how something would play out in action, so if I ever made a movie out of any of my work I would have to direct it.

Also, many great movies are the result of writer/directors. Some examples are Quentin Tarentino and Kevin Smith movies.

I just feel that in order for the original story to be captured the correct way the writer and director must either be the same person or work together very closely.
