I think film, to me, as a director, is about telling a story.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have always believed that directing a film is like telling a story. You have to tell it well so that it is appreciated.
The thing is, as a film director, you're essentially alone: You have to tell a story primarily through pictures, and only you know the film you see in your head.
Film-makers must decide what story to tell and how to tell it.
When you direct a movie, you're basically looking at a story, the way you want to look at it. You bring that director's vision, and I'm totally open for that.
When you direct your first film, you always start by telling stories that you are familiar with.
If you want to tell stories, be a writer, not a filmmaker.
A film is a director's vision... there is, however, much input an actor or actress can have.
Film is our literature, so we should tell stories that are apropos of our culture, in that we can learn something about ourselves.
All directors are storytellers, so the motivation was to tell the story I wanted to tell. That's what I love.
Film is the medium for communicating not just ideas, but things of the heart.
