Any film I do needs to excite me at a script level.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For me, the script is important. If it excites me, I'll do the film.
I find the most interesting and most daring scripts tend to be for independent films.
I wanted to do a film for a while, but I never found a script that I felt I was going to be the right person for; because if you've never made a film, you're not taught how to make a film, and you feel like you lack skills.
First and foremost, I look for a great script. Then, the team that I am working with. Only then, we will be able to come up with a good film.
I have always thought if you are going to make a film, it's much better to have an original script that will play to film's strengths.
It's never a script that makes me decide to accept a film or not.
I hope I can become a good enough filmmaker where I can take a script that I'm not 'heart and soul' into, but I could still make something really great out of it.
Well, there's no question that a good script is an absolutely essential, maybe the essential thing for a movie.
There are no great scripts - just great films.
I can do a film only if it excites me as an actor.
