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.

As long as you keep your budgets small, there's a way of making films.

My advice to young film-makers is this: don't follow trends, start them!

I guess short films have a bright future... The advantage is budget.

I think the thing about film is, as it gets proved by a lot of young filmmakers now, that the medium will just go on reinventing itself, and so you just hope to be a part of that and not a part of some kind of endless regurgitation or 'Here I am doing what you know I do' kind of thing.

Making movies is really hard. It's a very complex process, with many, many variables.

There's a level of sophistication of filmmaking that's mind-boggling. Anything you need for your movie, there's an establishment that can make it happen really fast.

There's always gonna be people with a lot of money making film, and the goal is to make profit and carry on. It is a business. The goal is to make a living doing it and to be comfortable.

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.
