Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've learned one general thing in filmmaking: to work with one strong idea. One strong concept that pushes you to work in a certain way artistically.
I love getting into physical shape for a film; it makes me feel more like what the character needs to be.
As you can probably tell, I like films and directors that bring a totally unique style to filming action.
Film is just a great medium to express yourself and a great environment to work around.
My movement from painting to film was a very conscious one.
I do love doing action, but if I can balance the scale by doing other kinds of films that satisfy my creative ambitions, that feels really important.
I really got into filmmaking through photography.
Film has the potential of allowing me to explore my own ideas, which I find very attractive.
My interest in filmmaking was always very much the visuals and images.
I began to exercise a lot of cinematic muscle with the precepts I had learned in the New York art world. Film was intriguing. I began to think of art as elitist; film was not.
