For me, the drive is storytelling. To be a part of an art that tells a story and to be a catalyst, a color in that, is very exciting.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Color is an intense experience on its own.
I'm very impressed with 'Drive.'
'Drive' is a genre piece, and a lot of times we don't get really sophisticated genre films.
A lot of drive is innate, self-perpetuated, reinforced energy. As a kid, I could always sell anything I could get my hands on - from newspapers to lemonade to 'TV Guide.' I knew how to make a presentation.
For me, I actively look for projects that showcase people of color.
'Drive' is definitely an inspiration because it was a film that was able to use what would normally be considered cheesy, kind of bold, electronic music choice and pull it off in a mainstream way.
There was no drive because I wanted to become a great designer... I had two small children and a mother, and we all had to eat. That's the drive I had.
I think the key is basically just your determination. As far an artist is concerned, it's just about your drive and your dream.
So I like to try to go back and develop pure visual storytelling. Because to me, it's one of the most exciting aspects of making movies and almost a lost art at this point.
I'm not driven. I love writing. My imagination is always working. I write when I have time, and life allows me the time.
