I think that our task as filmmakers is to create the most insightful reality given the most pressing questions.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am filled with awe that filmmakers have the capacity to stir us and give us back a sense of wonder.
As filmmakers, we're constantly always looking for something to bring the audience deeper into the reality of the story we're telling.
We're able to push the envelope with what we're doing, both on a technical and artistic level, which is the most that any filmmaker can ask for.
The greatest filmmakers are not the ones who put everything in; they're the ones who can figure things to leave out, and in doing so, invite your participation.
The best films of any kind, narrative or documentary, provoke questions.
You need philosophy. It sounds a little pompous but I think when you direct a film, the only way to find a response to the questions you keep asking yourself is to have a philosophy.
The most important thing as a filmmaker, the hardest journey you'll have, is to find your point of view.
I think film should raise questions, not give answers. I think film should challenge people to reflect, debate and get by themselves to the answer that fits them.
Film gives us the luxury of deciding where the viewpoint of the audience is, and by knowing that, we can very effectively design around what is actually seen on camera.
I don't think it's the job of filmmakers to give anybody answers. I do think, though, that a good film makes you ask questions of yourself as you leave the theatre.
