Actor Daniel Radcliffe would like to try his hand at direction in the near future and he's reportedly got his sights set on an independent or indie film.

The 25-year-old has developed a flare for visualising the artistic and dramatic aspects when he's shooting a movie.

"I would love to direct. I do it in my head when I'm watching other directors direct. 'No, don't say that to them!' I think I'm quite good with people. Part of being a director is knowing how different actors work in different ways. I'd enjoy it," contactmusic.com quoted him as saying.

The "Harry Potter" star admits he's picked up the tricks of being a director after working with talents such as Alfonso Cuaron, Mike Newell and David Yates.

 

"The mistake I see even the really good directors make is they assume they are the only creative person on that set," he said.

"And actually, make-up artists are not just girls with brushes who put foundation on, and costume guys are not just there to stitch up accidents. They are all immensely creative people," added Radcliffe.
