There's the concept that if I do this big budget project, then that will help me do the things I really want to do and bring more money to those films.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
That's one of the benefits of working on big budget films. You work with people who have a lot of experience and you get to learn a lot.
I want to do some bigger films, so long as there's some sort of exciting creative element or a good filmmaker behind them.
You finish a project and start looking for something that might interest you. A lot of the films I've made are a reaction to something I've done right before.
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.
I don't have a drawer full of ideas. I kind of look around and take notes and wonder what could actually be a whole movie. And each time, I think I'm going to do it more commercial this time; I'm going to get a big budget and make it. But I always come up with some small idea.
More personal films, you could make them, but your budgets would be cut down.
Without doing the big blockbusters, I wouldn't be able to find the money to go after little projects that I want to do.
Making a film, every film, is a big gamble, large or small. The more that you do it, the more you're aware of that.
As long as you keep your budgets small, there's a way of making films.
I'll never do a film because it's a massive budget and I'm gonna get lots of publicity for it and it will bring something else.
