As long as you keep your budgets small, there's a way of making films.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
More personal films, you could make them, but your budgets would be cut down.
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.
The only way you can continue to make artistic films is to make an occasional one of those. They kind of keep your marketability going to the extent that people will employ you.
I've been blessed with enough wealth that I can make a film myself up to a certain budget. So one way I thought I would reinvent myself was just to make these very small, personal films that I've financed myself.
But the way that we've got it organized in our family, we try not to work at the same time, so I'm just now starting to look around. I think I'd like to do a film.
Making movies is really hard. It's a very complex process, with many, many variables.
One of the worst things you can do is have a limited budget and try to do some big looking film. That's when you end up with very bad work.
I don't want to produce anymore small or independent movies because it's just too hard these days.
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.
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.
