You get paid the same for a bad film as you do for a good one.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You learn as much from doing a bad film as a good one.
Good filmmakers make bad films; it happens.
I got paid 20 grand for my first film. And that's the lowest I ever got paid.
When you makes movies, you usually make good money. But it is also a very tough job. Once you enter the public's eye, you have to be aware that you give up a huge part of your own life. And it is never a job from nine to five.
I don't want to be disrespectful to people who are incredible at their craft, but the truth is, if I didn't get paid for it, I wouldn't act. The best-paying jobs are usually the worst films. You're a very small cog in a big machine.
I'd rather not make films than make bad ones.
My movies don't make any money, and they don't really light the world on fire. But I'm really lucky because I've gotten them made.
If my films don't show a profit, I know I'm doing something right.
You end up giving up half your salary every time you make a movie because you need the money to make the movie you have in your head.
The writer in movies is about as low as you can get and you really are a hired hand. You are paid a lot of money to be treated like dirt.
