I've never done a movie that's shot more than 40 days because I just don't do those kinds of films.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
I'm lucky if I find one movie a year that's worth doing, and when I do find one, it usually only takes 20-30 days to shoot.
People don't realize how long hours are when you're shooting a movie.
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.
I have shot four films for sure. On most days, I wish that there were 48 hours in a day. When a movie is coming to an end and another is going to start, I've felt that I don't want to let go of this one just yet and say goodbye to the character nicely.
Usually, you can shoot a movie in 10 or 12 weeks.
To make a film is eighteen months of your life. It's seven days a week. It's twenty hours a day.
You can finish the day's filming or the whole shoot or watch something months later and think you could have done it so much better. It's frustrating.
I'm not complaining about doing 20-hour days. It's a joy to be able to work on yet another film.
How do you shoot a 150-day movie? You shoot it one day at a time.
