I've produced a couple of films and really enjoyed starting it from the very beginning and seeing it all the way through to the end; that was very gratifying.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was growing up, I loved the films where you'd start them and the score might sound really odd at first and really different, and then by the time you finish, you can't imagine it being any other way.
I got involved in script development from the beginning. It was nice to see how a film gets made right from the beginning. It was quite hands-on for me.
I love that there's a beginning, middle and end to a film and you can craft what the whole journey is going to look like.
I loved the material when I first read it, and the experience of making the film was a great one. So when we came around to complete the trilogy, I just signed on board without even reading the scripts because the experience of the first film was so good.
It's great making a film and having it embraced and seen. I really enjoy that.
Just making a movie the way 'All is Lost' had to be made was a great experience, because it was structured differently than any other film I will make for the rest of my life.
I've seen many, many movies over the years, and there are only a few that suddenly inspire you so much that you want to continue to make films.
The great thing about film is you start and finish. It's a journey that lasts so long, TV lasts a long time.
Certainly, a lot of the films I've worked on have ended up good movies, but they haven't always been the best experiences.
It was so satisfying for me - a great reward, just to see it done well. And it was beautifully directed by my daughter Susan Riskin. Imagine, a play about my mother directed by my daughter?!
