Usually, you can shoot a movie in 10 or 12 weeks.

I think to do a proper independent movie, in my experience, it takes 22 or 23 days to shoot. That was 'Party Girl' or 'House of Yes.' But now with the digital camera, the budgets have gotten smaller, and the days have gotten shorter.

I've never done a movie that's shot more than 40 days because I just don't do those kinds of films.

The movies I usually do are maybe three or four weeks because they don't have a lot of money.

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.

With fashion, you go deep into a shoot for one day, but a movie lasts so much longer. It's literally like going to summer camp.

How do you shoot a 150-day movie? You shoot it one day at a time.

It takes a long time to get a film made.

I take a few pictures a week, but the best part is waiting for my film to be developed. The suspense is exciting, and the reward is great.

A movie shoots six months for two hours of film.
