The director's offbeat tips help the Tribeca Film Festival announce next year's dates

If you want to win an Oscar and have a 30+ year career in filmmaking, remember to take your daily saltwater bath.

At the behest of the Tribeca Film Festival, Oscar-winning director Ron Howard offered up a number of offbeat tips for cinema success. The digital short was released today (Aug. 6) in conjunction with the festival's announcement of its April 15-26, 2015 dates.

We won't spoil them, but we do suggest learning math, buying milk in bulk and putting stones in your shoes. Oh, and develop multiple personality syndrome, if possible. His truly is a beautiful mind.

Why do you read and comment on worthless threads. I’m flattered that you have a crush on me.

Mr. Coriander, why does Free Republic exist? For everyone, not just for your occasional listless threads.

Hmmm. For everyone? Weird way to put it since you are the one who wants less threads, not me. You seem to like my posts earlier today.

I like your posts, Sir

It’s nice to read things that take my mind off the state of the world. Especially now.

Every time I see him, I think of Opie and American Graffiti. Even now that he's bald.

I think he kinda does. He was so cute as Leon on the old Andy Griffin show.

He’s a succesful multi bazillionaire and I’m not. Time to start putting stones in my shoes.

Whoa he looks old for his age.
I think he also uses bath salts... and not just baths in them.
