I hope I can become a good enough filmmaker where I can take a script that I'm not 'heart and soul' into, but I could still make something really great out of it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love to be creative and to put flesh onto the ideas that are inside of me. And there are not that many great programs that are coming out through Hollywood, and I'm tired of waiting around for someone to hand me a good script, so I'm going to go and produce something.
When I started making films, like almost every filmmaker, I think, you're just so excited to be able to make a movie that you'll do anything.
What I hope in my ideal world is that with each project, I'll either get to work with a really great script that would force me to grow, or work with a really great actor who will make me better.
I'm not saying I'm a writer, but I've been in movies for a long time, and I think I could write a script for a movie.
I have always thought if you are going to make a film, it's much better to have an original script that will play to film's strengths.
First and foremost, I look for a great script. Then, the team that I am working with. Only then, we will be able to come up with a good film.
I'm hoping one day I can make one really good film.
A great script might come my way, and I could be in the middle of music. So, it's a huge choice that I have to make - if I'm going to go do a movie or if I'm going to turn it down - because it could be an opportunity that could send my career through the roof, and you never know.
All I want is the same opportunities as the filmmakers I grew up admiring. But you know, I've had lots of amazing opportunities to do the movies I wanted to do. If I could write my future, I'd want to keep making character-based films that can make use of my voice as a filmmaker.
I wanted to do a film for a while, but I never found a script that I felt I was going to be the right person for; because if you've never made a film, you're not taught how to make a film, and you feel like you lack skills.
