When you are writing and directing and producing, there is a lot of stuff to do. I like to finish one; then while I am editing, I will think of the next one.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The process of editing is what I enjoy most - putting the pieces together and making sense out of them.
I've been doing a bit of screenwriting and producing, and even a bit of directing.
I tend to edit some as I go - partly because one of the reasons I don't outline much is that I don't know what the next scene will be until I've actually written the previous scene.
I have an amazing team; I have amazing producers; I have amazing writers, but at the end of it, it's me making the decisions on the writing, the tone, the editing.
I definitely in filmmaking more and more find writing and directing a means to harvest material for editing. It's all about editing.
I throw everything I have into whatever story I'm writing - and so there's something immensely gratifying about finishing one piece and then starting fresh with a new setting, time period and cast of characters, getting to see the world through a completely different lens each time.
It's sort of one ongoing process where writing ends and directing starts.
Personally as an actress, when I work on something, that's it and then I move onto the next thing. I'm not someone who sits and watches my stuff. I like to go onto the next thing that I'm working on, and the thing that's been completed is completed.
When I write, I imagine scenes. I write things down. I take photographs. I do some casting. I rewrite. It's a permanent making or remaking.
I edit as I write. I revise endlessly. I don't go forward until I know that what I've written is as good as I can make it.
