Gus Van Sant and Ben Affleck share what it is like working family members. Ben directed his brother Casey on Gone Baby Gone and shared a moment when he was filming, "What ever your instincts are follow that and we'll just go from there.

'Don't walk in to an empty room where no one can see you.' It was tough but I cast him because he is a great actor" said Ben.
