As a measure of acting skills, film can be very deceptive.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Film is a dramatised reality and it is the director's job to make it appear real... an audience should not be conscious of technique.
Film acting is one of the only industries where you're criticized for working hard. In any other industry, it's considered a quality and something to behold.
I think you can tell when someone is being dishonest as an actor.
Actors are real. It's a real skill, and it exists, and talent really exists.
I think the writing skills of actors are sometimes underestimated.
I always tell younger filmmakers, it's not just about the acting or the art itself. It's about how big of an audience watches your film.
Film acting has been a very pure experience, because you have to give the purest form of yourself as an artist.
Film actors are, by nature, more complicated than stage actors.
And film acting is incredibly tedious, just by its nature. It's incredibly, mind numbingly slow.
The most honest form of filmmaking is to make a film for yourself.
