I always direct the same film. I cannot distinguish one from the other.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When you direct a movie, you're basically looking at a story, the way you want to look at it. You bring that director's vision, and I'm totally open for that.
I never really think of acting and directing as being separate; they are just different expressions of the same thing.
When you direct your first film, you always start by telling stories that you are familiar with.
When you're so passionate about cinema, the idea to direct your own film is really appealing.
For a lot of my childhood, I didn't want to direct movies because I didn't really know what directing was.
No two directors make the same film the same way.
Cinema is an art form that is designed to go across borders. And as a filmmaker, the only way I can direct a movie is when I feel close to my culture.
As you can probably tell, I like films and directors that bring a totally unique style to filming action.
The thing that's very close in the process is writing and acting, not directing. Directing's very different.
Directing is creating a whole. You're able to combine different elements and create a film that is unique and true to your vision.
