As a journalist, as a screenwriter and as a director, I'm trying to tell compelling and truthful stories.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been writing screenplays for a long time, and a lot of it came out of the journalism I was doing.
I have always believed that directing a film is like telling a story. You have to tell it well so that it is appreciated.
The kind of fiction I'm trying to write is about telling the truth.
I'm a journalist, and I'm a filmmaker. I have an organization that's all about telling stories.
Film-makers must decide what story to tell and how to tell it.
There are so many stories to be told, by so many good writers.
It's not easy to tell a story about writers and make that feel like a complete story and an interesting story.
I'm someone who has a singular goal in making films: I want to tell a story. There are certain stories that I want to tell.
If you want to tell stories, be a writer, not a filmmaker.
As a writer, my only responsibility is to tell a compelling story.
