Filmmaking is incredible introspective. It forces you to sort of examine yourself in new ways.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you're making a film all by yourself, that requires you to have quite a bit of a point of view in order for anything to get done.
Every time I make a film, I feel it gives me the chance to learn something new.
Film has the potential of allowing me to explore my own ideas, which I find very attractive.
Film brings together framing and light and color and performance and music and all of that. To me, everything I've done in my life has been preparing me for filmmaking.
I don't necessarily see myself as an experienced filmmaker just because I've been in a few movies.
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.
Filmmaking is a very complex form - ya know, acting, lighting, screenwriting, storytelling, music, editing - all these things have to come together.
Filmmaking can give you everything, but at the same time, it can take everything from you.
You know, the great thing about acting or, indeed, filmmaking in general, is that we're all given a reason to do research. You kind of have to, really, if you want to know what you're doing, but it opens up this whole new understanding.
The filmmaking process is a very personal one to me, I mean it really is a personal kind of communication. It's not as though its a study of fear or any of that stuff.
