As a professional, it pains me to watch a movie that is botched and amateurish. I prefer directors who have control of both their craft and their ideas.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've found that the more experts you have on a movie, the less control the director has.
A lot of directors prefer the solitude of the editing process, but I revel in the craziness of what a film set is.
I think it's very boring for a director to always do the same kind of movies.
I've been lucky enough to work with some great directors, and I don't want to throw that away by doing one big horrible big budget film.
In that sense, film is superior, but the difficulty is your lack of control as a writer.
I think I'm drawn to films more as a director with a directorial mind even as an actor. I make movies to make the films, not to act.
The key is working with great directors. A film is so many different people and all their talents, but particularly the directors, because of the idiosyncrasies of that person.
Making movies is difficult and you get disorientated sometimes - even when you're working with fantastic talent.
As you can probably tell, I like films and directors that bring a totally unique style to filming action.
I'm very manipulative towards directors. My theory is that everyone on the set is directing the film, we're all receiving art messages from the universe on how we should do the film.
