I mean the cool thing about the movies is that you get to try on these different personalities and different styles.
From Edward Burns
I suffer from Irish-Catholic guilt. Guilt is a good reality check. It keeps that 'do what makes you happy' thing in check.
When I was 25 years old and had no money - and didn't know how to make movies and had no experience - I was able to get $25,000 together, and that film was 'The Brothers McMullen.'
I'm betting that in two years I'll be talking to you about a film that I shot on an iPhone. It's absolutely coming, I have no doubt in my mind.
So you got the cool New Yorkers, and then there are the less-than-cool New Yorkers.
I'm always aware of who my core audiences are and I serve that niche.
I feel Irish-Americans are the forgotten minority group. Nobody else is making films about them.
Newlyweds shooting budget: 5k for actors, 2k insurance, 2k food and drink. 9k in the can. We only shot 12 days. That's how to make an independent film.
You make a movie for 9k for the freedom it allows you.
You know, I've certainly gone through periods, once I got into this business, where I tried to adopt maybe a more sophisticated style, 'cause they give you all these free clothes.
