You know, when I first started making online videos, there were a lot of filmmakers I befriended who were doing it too.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have always done films with friends rather than strangers.
My friends and I often film videos when we get together and hang out, and they're usually just silly situational videos just for our own amusement.
I developed a group of friends around me that were all as crazy as I was about wanting to make films.
I was an audience member before I'm a filmmaker. All I've tried to do as a filmmaker was to make movies I want to see.
A lot of filmmakers from my generation were lucky enough to have their work more or less perpetuated by people who saw them originally on TV and on HBO and certainly on home video.
I feel like, on a more macro scale, there's started to be a relationship between filmmakers and people who watch their films - you know, on Twitter and on the Internet.
I know people from working with them on films, but they're not the ones I would meet up with... I'm just a normal person!
Like a lot of people my age, I grew up on Amblin movies. They're a part of who I am as a filmmaker and, arguably, as a person.
When I was younger, me and my brother got a video camera, and he used to direct and I used to act. We used to make these silly, stupid short films, which, looking back now, were probably horrible.
I don't make films for other people; I make films for me.
