Film has always been a really good tool for me to communicate emotion about why I create a collection. I'm probably one of the first designers to make short films.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Film is such a very good tool for communicating emotions, and all designers and creative people look to inspire an emotional response.
The best reason to make a film is that you feel passionately about it.
I started making my own short films as a way of being able to give myself something to do and to study my craft.
You finish a project and start looking for something that might interest you. A lot of the films I've made are a reaction to something I've done right before.
Sometimes I know a film might not pull the audience to the theatres and have a great collection at the box office. But I need to do these films for creative satisfaction and give something different to the audience.
I think films have to reach people and really grab them. That's what I hope to do when I make a film - to get under your skin and really make you think about something, and have a transporting time that takes you somewhere.
I wanted to make a film that was sophisticated and emotional, but for a wider audience.
Film is just a great medium to express yourself and a great environment to work around.
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 have a hard time articulating the emotional experience of working on a film. Even when I have meetings on films or discussing them with directors, I find that's my biggest challenge. Different words mean different things to people.
