I just like to do work that inspires me, and I don't pay any attention to whether it's a high- or low-budget movie.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When you do a low budget movie, you get a little over-ambitious.
I love films that are made with almost no budget.
I tend to make low-budget movies but, yeah, I make more money than I ever thought I would make.
To me, it doesn't make any sense to pick your work based on the size of the budget of the movie.
Talking to other people who make low-budget movies, everyone kind of has the same struggle.
I love making cheap films. I really do. What I've found is that I work better when it's both a fairly low budget and a short schedule. It focuses the mind, and it's a better atmosphere.
I feel like when you do things with such a small budget, it actually makes you be more creative... and allows you to concentrate more on the story and the characters. I think that there is something about dirty, gritty and raw filmmaking that makes it feel a little more natural and makes it easier to connect with the action.
When you're shooting a movie that's not necessarily a huge budget, you have to think about what you can leave out and still make it interesting.
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.
My feeling is, I do a lot of low-budget films. I don't do low-budget acting. I have no interest in just goofballing my way through, thinking, 'Ah, no one's ever going to see this anyway.'
