I've found that if you just try to make the film you want, you'll find the right audience. If you try to please everyone, you're going to make really boring films.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You have to make films you feel strongly about. And then hope you can find the audience.
We make films that we ourselves would want to see and then hope that other people would want to see it. If you try to analyze audiences or think there's some sophisticated recipe for success, then I think you are doomed. You're making it too complicated.
I make movies that audiences like, that I'd want to see. That's all.
When you work so hard on making a film, it's all worthwhile when you get to experience seeing that film with an audience who thoroughly enjoy it and react to the movie.
You just have to ensure that you make good films because audiences today have become picky and smart, and rightfully so.
If you're sitting in the audience, you probably can't see the preparation and work that goes into creating a great scene or a great part, but I can assure you that a good film depends on lot of different things falling perfectly into place.
Your audience gives you everything you need. They tell you. There is no director who can direct you like an audience.
When I make movies, I don't ever go out there to please anyone other than myself. I never try to make a film for the masses. I just try to tell my story.
One can never anticipate how audiences will respond. One of the lessons that I've learned over the years is to that no matter what my feeling or opinion might be about a given film, once you give it to the audience, they own it.
I want my films to get audiences. I am not interested in making them just for myself.
