But it was not possible to do this movie, in this matter of time, without a solid rehearsal period.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Listen, there are some movies that are set in stone and the writer or the director does not want to change, but I've never worked on a movie, including my own, that didn't take advantage of a rehearsal process.
The studio should not have released this film.
This is really a difficult time to be in films.
I didn't think I'd ever be able to do movies. That was for serious actors.
I never dreamed that shooting a film would be so hard. There was less regulation then of child actors' hours. Even the concept of acting confused me.
Sometimes, rehearsals are not worth it if you do not have an accurate cast, and that is one of the most difficult parts about a film.
Sometimes films have no rehearsals - you don't have real rehearsals on the set because the day is so dominated by the schedule.
I know I'm incapable of orchestrating an entire film.
On a film, they'll always say there's going to be a rehearsal period, and there never is.
Once you know how to make a movie, you can't not make a movie.
