It's amazing what you can do without in terms of filmmaking when a story is really important.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I got into filmmaking in order to tell very personal stories, and in this day and age, the opportunity seems all the more precious.
Filmmaking can give you everything, but at the same time, it can take everything from you.
The most important thing when you do a movie is that you find an audience that really understands what you want to do and is really supportive of it.
Films are very influential, and I especially feel a responsibility to tell stories that have been pushed aside. Being able to shed light on issues that need to be brought to the world.
You can have a bunch of great actors in a film, but if you don't have anyone telling a great story, it's a moot point.
You could make a film out of just about anything so long as there is a clear vision about the story.
I want to put everything I think I've learned about filmmaking and storytelling and put it to the test in other areas.
It is important that alongside the blockbusters there are stories that can inspire and audiences can experience together in the cinema.
Professional cinema image-taking should integrate, serve, interest, and enhance the story. I judge cinematography not just for a story well told but for what the story is.
I think the most satisfying part about filmmaking is seeing a production in full bloom. When I write, I write in isolation.
