To me, it doesn't make any sense to pick your work based on the size of the budget of the movie.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
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.
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.
I prefer the smaller budget versus the bigger budget because the mentality that goes along with big budget filmmaking doesn't really suit me; the mind-set that money is the answer.
A big budget studio film is slower, they've got so much to create around you. Everything is more complicated.
As producers, we can influence where the budget goes, but only the director really controls what tone, what type of movie you are trying to make.
Other writers, producers, and directors of low-budget films would often put down the film they were making, saying it was just something to make money with. I never felt that. If I took the assignment, I'd give it my best shot.
I've been lucky enough to work with some great directors, and I don't want to throw that away by doing one big horrible big budget film.
The success of the film should depend on its budget.
The whole reason one wants to do lower budget films is because the lower the budget, the bigger the ideas, the bigger the themes, the more interesting the art.
