I don't watch my own films very often. I become so jittery and ready to cry... and miserable. I think it's awful.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Usually, watching yourself is pretty awful. People think we all love watching our own films. We don't. We cringe away from it.
There's some movies I watch, they're kind of like my anti-anxiety pill, my anti-depressant pill. I watch them at least once or twice a month probably. And I never stop learning from them as a filmmaker.
When my films don't do well, I'm hurt and surprised. It's discouraging.
I'm just one of those people that if I sit down to watch a horror film, I put my hands over my face and I cry a lot and I don't see half of the film because I'm too upset.
Once the film is done, then I like to watch myself. I know some actors say that they get very self-conscious watching themselves on screen especially if they have to cry in the scenes, they don't like the way their face contorts, but I have no such issues.
Normally I sit there in the films really hating watching myself. Loving watching the films, hating watching myself.
In my 10 years that I spent out in TV and film, I had my shares of frustrations and annoyances and disappointments, but also I think it was, in the long run, it was very good for me in a whole bunch of ways.
I cry in movies a lot, and over books.
As a viewer, I love watching movies. There has to be an emotional connection.
No matter how many times you do it, you don't get used to the sadness - for me at least - of coming to the end of a film.
