I think as a filmmaker my first contribution would just be to make a good movie that people would love to see and leave the theatre charged, with a sense of excitement.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I would not want to be a part of any project that I feel would not work. An actor like me always wants to work to get appreciation of the audiences. And appreciation can only come if people will come to watch the film.
I truly believe in cinema's potential for cultural impact. I have a clear idea what I want to do - to enrich people's lives.
The best reason to make a film is that you feel passionately about it.
I try to work on a film that my audiences would appreciate and enjoy their time in a theatre.
When I started making films, like almost every filmmaker, I think, you're just so excited to be able to make a movie that you'll do anything.
One of the things I've learned as a filmmaker is to have some aspect of the movie be something that I admire greatly, whether that's an actor I'm working with, the subject matter, or a book.
I like making movies that people feel inspired by, a film that they will think about a few days after seeing it, and not entertainment that is completely forgettable the moment you walk out of the theater.
The cinema should be human and be part of people's lives; it should focus on ordinary existences in sometimes extraordinary situations and places. That is what really motivates me.
I was an audience member before I'm a filmmaker. All I've tried to do as a filmmaker was to make movies I want to see.
The big thing for me is to make films that you feel, whether you feel happy, whether you feel sad, whether you feel sick; it's to make the audience feel so that the next day they remember what they saw.
