I still remember 1997 when I made the movie 'Storm Riders;' that moment, a lot of American producers want to hire me to make movies in the States.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wanted to make Canadian films, and I ended up making American films.
I've often gone to start a film only to find the producers surprised to discover that I'm American.
I've done quite a few big American films.
I spent a couple of years doing American films. I did a few.
I wish I was making movies back in the days when John Ford made movies and you were a director under contract to a studio. John Ford had years when he made three movies in a year.
I'm a European, and I live there. I work in European films, and then once in a while, I make an American movie.
What is generally referred to as American-style films are, in fact, studio productions.
I'd love to work in America, some of my favourite films come from America.
I think I'm a very American director, but I probably should have been making movies somewhere around 1976. I never left the mainstream of American movies; the American mainstream left me.
I pulled out of making movies in about '96 or '97.
