To do action without cuts is infinitely more exciting.
From Cary Fukunaga
There's nothing I find more lazy than unmotivated camerawork just to make things look interesting.
It's so easy for shows to be gritty and handheld and shaky and really tight in people's faces.
I'm better suited to be a director, I think. I see myself as the general author. I hate the word 'auteur,' because it sounds so solitary when filmmaking is anything but solitary.
I'm never more miserable than when I write, and never more happy than having finished and having it sitting in front of me.
I binge write, basically. I do a lot of prep, research, setup. I'll have a pretty detailed outline. Sort of like a beat outline. And then I'll add little notes and dialogue ideas, and I'll just create a 20-page document.
I eventually want to do writing on all the films, but not necessarily to be the writer. Writing is a painful, painful thing; it really is.
I'll definitely say that, before film school, I didn't have much of a film-history background. I didn't know much about classic cinema.
Literally, I don't have a television. So I don't really know what's happening pop-culturally. I read the 'New York Times.' And there's one worldwide cabin blog that I look at.
I want to have a nice country home one day, yeah.
