We made this movie for $17, and nobody got anything. So it never dawned on me that we would get real people.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You can have 10 bucks to 10 million bucks and if you got a crew, imagination and a lot of people willing to turn in some work next to nothing, you going to have a feature. But you can't get beyond how expensive marketing the movie is, it's so crushing.
The fact that someone came forward and offered $1.25 million to make a movie was astonishing. We were also allowed to keep many of the original stage cast.
You make a film you feel is as real as possible and hope people react as though it were real.
Anyone who's putting money into your movie would always rather you cast well-known people.
There are a lot of movies made for nobody.
Until I'm on the set of a film, to me it's still not for real.
I haven't sold to the movies. In other words, I haven't gotten any enormous checks yet.
You can get any film now basically for free, and that's where I think the model we're talking about is - if you give people what they want, how they want it and when they want it, they're more likely to pay for it.
Any movie I've ever made, the minute you walk on the set they tell you who's the person to buy it from.
You can take a handful of dollars, a good story, and people with passion and make a movie that will stand up against any $70 million movie.
