For a film to be made is a small miracle. And sometimes it's a large one.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't think people understand what it takes to make a movie unless they've experienced it themselves or been around it. It's a miracle every time you make a movie, and a bigger miracle if it turns out well.
There are so many things that have to go right for a movie to be good that it's a miracle whenever one is.
Sometimes miraculous films come into being, made by people you've never heard of, starring unknown faces, blindsiding you with creative genius.
I can't say that I wouldn't prefer to make small films, basically because I think they are probably more interesting in terms of the material. But every now and again, it's quite good to do a big one.
Once a film is made and it exists, someone somewhere is going to watch it and that is kind of the magic of it all.
People go to extraordinary lengths to get films made.
For a filmmaker, it's a rare chance to do a personal film on a big canvas.
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.
Making a film is like putting out a fire with sieve. There are so many elements, and it gets so complicated.
To make a film is easy; to make a good film is war. To make a very good film is a miracle.
