The mission of the A.R.T. is to expand the boundaries of theater through works of the canon and the new works of tomorrow.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The world is facing a new networked, digital lifestyle, and we will ensure that Canon remains ahead of the game.
It is an honor for me to take part in Canon's Project Imagin8ion, partnering with a brand that is empowering young filmmakers and is at the forefront of technology.
I think I'll always prefer theater to working in front of the camera. It seems a more distilled form of the craft.
At the end of the day, audiences just want to laugh and be entertained. They want to escape from their reality, and that's why we make movies, to get people to escape from the realities.
Theater has an incredible capacity to move people to social change, to address issues, to inspire social revolution.
What is needed in the theater, in fact for all our art forms, is a vibrant critical tradition.
Anytime you make a movie, the goal is a wide theatrical release, with the right distributor.
Regardless of the medium, be it television or feature or documentary, I'm not gonna distinguish and worry about my particular canon, whatever that means.
A canon is antithetical to everything the New York art world has been about for the past 40 years, during which we went from being the center of the art world to being one of many centers.
I want to do more movies. I feel like it's a totally different skill set than there is to theater. It's much more internal.
