You know what I would like to do: make a film with actors standing in empty space so that the spectator would have to imagine the background of the characters.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As a filmmaker, I believe in trying to make movies that invite the audience to be part of the film; in other words, there are some films where I'm just a spectator and am simply observing from the front seat. What I try to do is draw the audience into the film and have them participate in what's happening onscreen.
I've always tried to make movies that pull the audience out of their seats... I want audiences to be transported.
I'd like to act in a film without special effects.
Movies are a voyeuristic experience. You have to make the audience feel like they are peeking through a keyhole. I think of myself as the audience. Then I use light, framing, and motion to create a focal point.
You have to make films you feel strongly about. And then hope you can find the audience.
Someday, I'd like to sit down with a small group of people, in a relaxed environment, and make a film that feels more independent. That way we can be a little more free in terms of storytelling and subject.
My job as an actor is to cover and expose in varying allowance that - so that the audience can peek through the window to the people I create.
I don't want people to sit there and objectively watch the film. I want them to experience it as something that's under their skin, so you try to make the films really tactile.
The kinds of films that I'm used to doing are independent films. They're very small character-driven pieces, and there isn't as much spectacle involved.
I make movies that audiences like, that I'd want to see. That's all.
