When you're working on a movie you always hope that people will go for it and enjoy what you're doing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Honestly, when you're making a movie, you never say, 'Oh, this one's going to suck and go straight to video.' When you're in it, you think you're doing the best work you can do. You're surrounded by people who are working hard. Everybody's hopeful.
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.
The most important thing when you do a movie is that you find an audience that really understands what you want to do and is really supportive of it.
Every time you do a movie, it's important for your career, your reputation.
Doing a movie is a stressful thing. You spend months of you life focusing into that one project, and I want to make sure I do something I really like or I'm really passionate about.
I enjoy working in movies that appeal to and will be seen by many people.
What is important to me is that people know I respect the business of making movies.
You don't know what someone's going to walk away from a movie with, but you hope it's something positive, but if nothing, you want them most basically to be entertained and engaged. That's your job. But you also hope to give them something to chew on or maybe some insight into the human existence, you hope a little bit. Not to sound too lofty.
When you're making a movie, you don't think about the outcome. That's something I'm grateful for: whenever I go and do a new project, I never think about the outcome. It's always just about the work at hand. That's the fun part. The other part is always something I've had a struggle with, which is promoting the film. I know it's important.
You know how it is, somebody will see your work and like it and remember it, then decide to make it a role in their film.
