Filmmaking is always sort of building a mosaic of this arc of what the character is going through.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love that there's a beginning, middle and end to a film and you can craft what the whole journey is going to look like.
Every single art form is involved in film, in a way.
It's just lovely to be involved in a movie that does go back to the basics - characters and great writing.
It's really interesting working in television as opposed to the theater, where you know the arc of the character and you are able to create this whole backstory.
I view every film as a commitment to undertake a long journey.
Each performance and each film is what it is. It's right and belongs within that moment. You look at it and try to make it fit your particular part of your character and your particular film.
Filmmaking is a very complex form - ya know, acting, lighting, screenwriting, storytelling, music, editing - all these things have to come together.
It's a whole other way of working when you work in films: You know exactly the arc of your character.
When you get into a film, it is one story and one set development of a character, and you are able to delve into one character for a short period of time and discover everything about them.
I feel like if a film is well-written, then the character's arc is complete. There really is very little room to expand on that afterwards.
