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.

Technology continues to bring us wondrous advances in filmmaking to improve how we view movies.

Every technology that comes into filmmaking is first a gimmick. Think about sound with 'The Jazz Singer' or the first colour or surround sound - it takes a while for filmmakers to understand how to use it.

I think filmmakers want their movies to be seen.

I've always thought photography was a bit of an adventure, so to come home with the film, develop it, then look at the results has more of a sense of excitement.

Film can be exciting, but more often, it's tedious.

The motivation for making movies is that people actually see them.

Making a film is beyond exciting. It's so exciting, it's exhausting.

Audience members are only concerned about the story, the concept, the bells and whistles and the noise that a popular film starts to make even before it's popular. So audiences will not be drawn to the technology; they'll be drawn to the story. And I hope it always remains that way.

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.
