The secret is not to make a film that causes something like Virginia Tech to happen. The secret is to make a film that stops it happening.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think you get in trouble if you make experimental big studio films.
It's quite a dangerous career move to go wilfully on making films that may not find a distributor.
I'm of the opinion that the technology is in a place where there's really no excuse not to just make your movie.
Film people are coming into TV, because they can't get any work.
I think, unfortunately or fortunately, the reality of Hollywood is that if your movie makes money, they'll make another one.
I guess, you make a big studio film, you spend a lot of money on it and you hope people go see it. It's really risky.
Hollywood is in the perception business where you create layers to create mystery. In Silicon Valley it's about taking away the layers to get to the substance.
The technology available for film-making now is incredible, but I am a big believer that it's all in the story.
The secret to film is that it's an illusion.
Making your first feature film is actually impossible.
