We have to support our own films. If we don't, how can we expect others to support them?

If you acknowledge that filming is an occasion where people express things they might not otherwise express, that offers a much more insightful analysis of why documentaries - even of the fly-on-the-wall variety - are powerful.

Theatre's a whole different beast to film. It requires a lot more of you.

I don't think it's the job of theatre at the moment to provide political propaganda; that would be simplistic. We have to explore our situation further before we will understand it.

This is indeed not only relevant to Documentary but is evident is most type of film making. The film often mirrors the experience, understanding and politics of the director.

We're so bereft of support of theatre in this day and age.

I feel like a lot of funders of documentaries today want to fund films that have a social message that is going to yield results.

For me, every film is actually a form of documentary.

I don't think the subject of a documentary film should be producers on it.
