What happens is that with difficult processes on a film, they get very intensely compressed because a clock is ticking.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every film is faced with the enemy of time. Only so much story can fit into the 90-150 minutes of time that moviegoers are willing to stay in their seats. Naturally, compression is necessary. So are the exclusion and amalgamation of characters so that the viewer does not become bewildered.
Sometimes it's more difficult to do very simple, low-key films.
Film is very condensed.
Some movies get rushed out right after you make them and I'm not always happy with that.
Movies tend to be dislocated and non-linear in their process.
Making a film is like putting out a fire with sieve. There are so many elements, and it gets so complicated.
Sometimes movie-making happens like clockwork; other times, like a car accident.
Because of the way tech is changing, and becoming cheaper and user-friendly, it's becoming easier to make films cheaply, maintaining quality.
Films exhaust me, they do, and I often want nothing more to do with them, but I'm continually surprised at the resurgence of the impulse to come back and do it all over again.
It takes a long time to get a film made.
