I hope each day to have done 10 seconds of good work that they can use in the film. And I'm always afraid I didn't get those 10 seconds.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It takes great skill to tell a compelling story in under 60 seconds. These five directors have mastered the format, using their talent, craft and imagination to provide us with some of the most innovative filmmaking out there today.
It takes a long time to get a film made.
There are only 24 hours in a day, and my top priority is working on my films, but I love short film experiments.
You have twenty-one days to shoot a whole movie and sometimes you go into that thinking 'ugh, this could potentially be really, really difficult' and it turns out to be the most incredible experience.
When you shoot a film, it takes six months, and it's very important keep the morale of the crew up top, all the time, and keep them on their toes, and keep them enthusiastic.
After I directed for the first time, I wanted to call every director I'd ever worked with and apologize. In television you are tasked with shooting 42 minutes, or whatever, in eight days. That's not a lot of time.
If you have only 95 minutes of material, make an only 95-minute movie. Amazing how often that's forgotten.
When you think of a movie, most people imagine a two hour finished, polished product. But to get to that two hour product, it can take hundreds or thousands of people many months of full time work.
I've never done a movie that's shot more than 40 days because I just don't do those kinds of films.
I'm not complaining about doing 20-hour days. It's a joy to be able to work on yet another film.
