Sure, you always put some of your own experience into a film.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't necessarily see myself as an experienced filmmaker just because I've been in a few movies.
I just think that the collective experience of going to see a film is something you can't recreate.
There's no wrong way to experience a film.
In film, you're so much in the hands and at the mercy of the editor, so sometimes it's good to watch it just to see how it turns out - it can be so different than how you imagined it. But sometimes it's better to just let it go for your own sense of self worth.
I like doing movies that relate to people's experience.
I think, if you can, it's OK to put something in a movie because it makes you feel good.
Certainly, a lot of the films I've worked on have ended up good movies, but they haven't always been the best experiences.
Film has the potential of allowing me to explore my own ideas, which I find very attractive.
A film should be an experience. You should feel something. It should motivate you to feel something.
Film is a collective experience, as you know.
