Sometimes you have to make a movie to make money.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I make movies for money, exclusively for money.
When you make a movie independently, you raise the money beforehand, and then you make the movie kind of by yourself.
You end up giving up half your salary every time you make a movie because you need the money to make the movie you have in your head.
And in movies you must be a gambler. To produce films is to gamble.
You still get the movies made. A filmmaker can always scrape up money to do a movie. The passion drives it. And you'll get the money. Money's the easiest thing. But the hardest thing is finding a way for people to see your movie.
My movies don't make any money, and they don't really light the world on fire. But I'm really lucky because I've gotten them made.
Well, I started thinking about what you were saying about how your movies need to make a profit. Now, what is the one thing, if you put it in a movie, it'll be successful?
It's very important that every movie I do makes money because I want the people that had the faith in me to get their money back.
When you makes movies, you usually make good money. But it is also a very tough job. Once you enter the public's eye, you have to be aware that you give up a huge part of your own life. And it is never a job from nine to five.
I've never made a movie to make money. I've never made a painting to make money.
