I knew from early on I would go to film school and try to work behind the camera.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Now everybody's got a video camera, so go make videos with your friends or see if you can get a part in a film school thing that's being done.
I would love to go to film school.
I took myself out of the business to study film at NYU and the School of Visual Arts. I grew up on movie sets and was fascinated with the camera and behind-the-scenes work. I felt it would help my career as an actor if I knew all aspects of film.
Well, getting behind the camera is something I've always wanted to get involved with. Ever since I was doing movies like 'Zathura' I was very interested in all the different jobs on set and kind of soaking all the information up like a sponge.
I had no education in filmmaking. I started with a 8mm camera. I made 34 films, and little by little I gained more experience in filming.
I didn't go to film school. I got my education on the set as a niche publicist in the film industry.
Ultimately, I'd love to be able to work in film.
I really got into filmmaking through photography.
If I had to start over, I'd pursue photography - probably to the exclusion of acting.
Knowing what I do now, I don't know if I'd ever have the balls to go to film school, with no connections and no knowledge of the business side at all.
