Get out and make films. There are so many cameras now to suit any budget, so there are no excuses.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
One of the worst things you can do is have a limited budget and try to do some big looking film. That's when you end up with very bad work.
You could go out with a camcorder tomorrow and make a movie with virtually no money, but promoting a tiny low-budget movie costs $20 million. And the money they spend on the big movies is astronomical.
As long as you keep your budgets small, there's a way of making films.
Now everybody's got a video camera, so go make videos with your friends or see if you can get a part in a film school thing that's being done.
On a low-budget film, you don't have all the luxuries.
Just trying to get a film made which is always difficult no matter what kind of a budget you have. Not having a budget makes it even more difficult. Having nineteen days and no budget makes it extremely difficult.
I'd like to enter in and out of that big budget world, rather than staying in it. It's not the case that the bigger the film, the better it is.
When I grow older and less popular, there will come a time when I have to shoot films on low budgets.
I don't mind sitting at home for six months if there's no film that I want to do.
I'll never do a film because it's a massive budget and I'm gonna get lots of publicity for it and it will bring something else.
