Well, I think just the fact that you are making your first film is a huge step.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think what's so great about making your first feature film is that you're so naive in some ways; you don't know what to expect, and you don't question things as much because you're just trying to figure it out as you go.
Making a film, every film, is a big gamble, large or small. The more that you do it, the more you're aware of that.
You may not quite understand the cinematic tricks that go behind the making of a film, but as long as you feel it, I think that's the important thing.
Making movies is really hard. It's a very complex process, with many, many variables.
Every time I start a film I feel like I'm starting the first time, ever.
Usually, with me, the project is always the second thing. The film-maker comes first. Films grow out of the relationship.
You have a big success, and it's still not easy to make a movie.
You make a lot of films, do you? You make a lot of films yourself? Yeah, I'd like to see you make a film first before you get to talk about it. What a jerk.
You don't want to be starting a film not knowing what you want to do.
I was clear about the fact that my first film should be 'big,' since it's the start of your whole career graph.
