Two of my sons are themselves filmmakers, and we can't afford them nor they us. They work in the real world and earn money and are pretty good at it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Most independent filmmakers in Britain and North America work for commercial crews and then have their own projects when they've got enough money saved up to do so.
I only want to work with interesting filmmakers.
That's easy to answer: I never had any special appetite for filmmaking, but you have to make a living and it is miraculous to earn a living working in film.
I think there's not a lot of real filmmakers. There are only a few people who make real cinema. I can count them on my fingers.
Films like 'Bond' fund training schemes for film technicians of the future, and working on films themselves provides a great training ground for budding directors and cinematographers. If there's no money there for films to be made, it's like a house of cards, it all comes tumbling down.
Filmmaking is a real craft.
I just want to work with good filmmakers and do good projects that mean something to me and play interesting characters. That's really it.
My movies don't make any money, and they don't really light the world on fire. But I'm really lucky because I've gotten them made.
There's always gonna be people with a lot of money making film, and the goal is to make profit and carry on. It is a business. The goal is to make a living doing it and to be comfortable.
I believe that independent film making is the last frontier of creative expression available. So I'm always willing to lend a helping hand to a young film maker who's just getting into the business.
