This fall I'm doing something I've never done before. I'm starring in a film, an independent film.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'd like to do an independent film.
I've done approximately 15 films, and most of the things I've done have either been stunt or costume work.
Doing a movie is a stressful thing. You spend months of you life focusing into that one project, and I want to make sure I do something I really like or I'm really passionate about.
I personally like to do independent films.
When I'm doing a movie, I'm not doing anything else. It's all about the movie. I don't have a wife. I don't have a kid. Nothing can get in my way... I've made a choice, so far, to go on this road alone. Because this is my time. This is my time to make movies.
I'm in a position where I'm being continually knocked back for the kind of independent films I want to be in because people don't know who I am.
I've learned a great deal about a certain type of filmmaking. But I have ambitions toward another type of filmmaking that I haven't been allowed to engage in yet.
The frustrating part of it is that you're generally known for what you did last. I've had the privilege of doing some very cool independent films that, a lot of the time, the general public doesn't see unless you're at a film festival or you're into that kind of movie.
I love making independent movies, and that's pretty much what I'm going to be doing for the rest of my years.
I've directed independent film.
