I've been in the game long enough to know what elements you have to package together to get a movie into production.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Making movies is really hard. It's a very complex process, with many, many variables.
One very important element for me to make a movie is, it has to be unique and different from any other.
What's great about making movies is the sort of additive process of bringing people together and having an idea and watching the idea be added to and at the end you have this thing.
What makes a movie now is a package, a brand, a remake or some preexisting material.
Making a movie is a lot of problem solving.
If you want to make movies you need to think on a micro-micro level and figure out how to make them for nothing with people who really care about your movie and really want to make it.
I always wanted to do something different with each film. So I guess that means that I wanted to not repeat myself. There has to be some kind of a new element in each project that I take up.
Well, first of all, making films is a collaborative process. You need people. You need people you trust and love and who are your friends. People you can work with.
There's no point in making films unless you intend to show us something special, otherwise just go out and watch a play.
Making a film is like putting out a fire with sieve. There are so many elements, and it gets so complicated.
