Mid-range to low-budget movies have to have a name in the lead to get financing for it.

It often takes a couple of years to get a script right and then takes a couple of years to get financing together.

I don't know why directors sign on to these projects and completely rewrite everything.

They're talking about a movie I don't want to hold to that because in this business you can talk about things for years before they get done - god knows if the financing would happen.

The studios don't finance anymore, they get outside funds.

As a director, you've got to have quite a few projects going because you never know which one will actually come together with the financing and get the green light.

This weird thing happens when you're in a movie that has some level of success. People start offering you all kinds of things, and they just expect you to do them because they'll be good for your career. It's not about the project's integrity or anything like that.

So many people wait around for funding, and if they're unsuccessful, they don't make the film; if you've got a good idea, that seems so pointless. There's always a way of doing it; you've just got to find it.

While I'm confident in Obsidian being able to deliver a quality title, it only takes one other Kickstarter developer to ruin things for everyone else and cast doubt on the donation process going forward.

Once investors come in, it's hardly your company anymore!
