When you are making the one you are doing, you think it is the greatest film going. And then you do another one and it is a great film.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you work so hard on making a film, it's all worthwhile when you get to experience seeing that film with an audience who thoroughly enjoy it and react to the movie.
I like the feeling of making things. It's very very rewarding. And filmmaking is that type of experience, where you're forced to collaborate with so many people. You're involved in the beginning to end, you're involved with so many elements, and when it's done, you're like, 'I made this movie.'
Making a film, every film, is a big gamble, large or small. The more that you do it, the more you're aware of that.
There are so many elements that make a good film. You need a great director who's driving it.
There's a strange sense of accomplishment in making an independent film. Everything's against you; there's no time, and even less money - you bring a bottle of glue, chip in twenty bucks, and hope you all make it through the day. If you manage to finish it and it actually turns out to be pretty good, it's thrilling.
I think what's so great about making your first feature film is that you're so naive in some ways; you don't know what to expect, and you don't question things as much because you're just trying to figure it out as you go.
Films are amazing. To be a part of a movie is the greatest. It's so historic and exciting.
You may not quite understand the cinematic tricks that go behind the making of a film, but as long as you feel it, I think that's the important thing.
Every movie has its uniqueness. You just do your best and go with it.
At the end of the day, it is about working in a good film. It's the films that you leave behind that matter.
