All the filmmakers I've worked with have taken my desire to educate myself very seriously.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The great thing about films is that you have access to this whole world of experts who teach you the skills your character's supposed to have.
I've always had the perspective that roles come into my life when I need them most and sort of teach me lessons. The same can be true of films, films are released into society to aid in a lesson, inspire people, comfort people.
I really took filmmaking very seriously... It was an honor and then a crutch also, because at a young age, I was like, I guess I'm a serious filmmaker. I never set out to be a serious filmmaker. I just set out to make movies.
Every movie I make teaches me something. That's why I keep making them.
Going to film school taught me how much I already knew, and that the best way to learn about film is being on the set with professionals.
What I like are films that take me seriously, that don't treat me as more stupid than I am.
I'm not educated as a filmmaker, so it's quite a jump for me.
I think everything that you do, you're learning. I mean, every movie that you make is like a film school; that's one of the things that I enjoy about filmmaking.
Every film I do, I'm involved with from the very conception of the project.
I learned a lot about critics, not to really take them too seriously about movies.
