Advanced directing can take a lot of lines but it doesn’t contribute to length. Usually advanced directing scenes are not very long. So you need to run through everything wondering if you need a certain scene or not. Is there anything to add that make scenes make more sense. Like I had a date scene therefore I needed a scene where my LI was asking my MC on a date. But do not push random scenes to get a good length. Ask a proofreader what they would add to make it flow better.
