When you make a film like this, you must have the highest expectations of your audience. Having worked in situations where we have the lowest expectations of our audience.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've found that if you just try to make the film you want, you'll find the right audience. If you try to please everyone, you're going to make really boring films.
When you see a finished film, it's very rare that it exceeds your expectations.
When you work so hard on making a film, it's all worthwhile when you get to experience seeing that film with an audience who thoroughly enjoy it and react to the movie.
Fortunately or not, expectations are always high for all my films.
If you're sitting in the audience, you probably can't see the preparation and work that goes into creating a great scene or a great part, but I can assure you that a good film depends on lot of different things falling perfectly into place.
I do my best not to have any expectations when I go into a movie because it's not fair.
The difficulty is capturing surprise on film.
Film-making was not at all what I had expected.
It's always good to have no expectations when you see a film. Then you can be pleasantly disappointed or surprised.
We make films that we ourselves would want to see and then hope that other people would want to see it. If you try to analyze audiences or think there's some sophisticated recipe for success, then I think you are doomed. You're making it too complicated.
