I read an interview where someone said, 'It's a shame that anyone can make a movie now,' and I feel the exact opposite.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't feel despair because I am able to make the films I want to make, and that gives me hope.
And I think one way or another it's evident to those who work with me that as a writer, a director, a friend, as somebody's there that's very anxious to get the movie made.
You just can't make any movie and it will be good now. This is a really a difficult time to be in films.
Every day I spend in Hollywood, I start to realize how many films are made with no heart and no love. They just do it for the paycheck, and I cannot imagine making a film that way.
It's always been a lie that it's difficult to make films.
So many things have to come together to get a creatively successful and financially successful film. Sometimes you'll have a movie that you're very proud of, and you think it transcended all of your expectations, but it doesn't come out at the right time. I have done movies that have never been released. That can be depressing.
Most people don't really understand what it takes to get a film made, and the struggles .I think anyone who makes a film goes through their own set of struggles.
It's a good time to be making movies, despite the cynicism people have about Hollywood.
It's difficult to find a movie that feels true to itself. You feel the hand of Hollywood, the moviemaking by committee, on everything.
It's nice when you're working in Hollywood and there's a movie you'd like to see that no one is making anymore. You make it yourself.
