I want to make movies that people talk about when they leave the theater, that aren't clear-cut, but effective and fulfilling in some sense.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I try to work on a film that my audiences would appreciate and enjoy their time in a theatre.
I like making movies that people feel inspired by, a film that they will think about a few days after seeing it, and not entertainment that is completely forgettable the moment you walk out of the theater.
I really think that movies are the most popular form of story telling ever and have such a huge impact on culture when they do. So I really want to be a part of those movies that say something good to a lot of people.
I have directed good actors and have gone through the process which is more detailed in theater in a way. You have to get people to stay for two or three hours in a performance. They need more talk and rehearsal than in films.
It's great to work in film and TV, and I love it, but there's nothing that can replace that instantaneous storytelling you get in theater.
To make theater out of real life, you need to catch dialogue when it happens.
The industry has to have the audience in order to make these films. So it's a serious thing - how do you get people to leave their houses and go to the theater?
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.
You have to make films you feel strongly about. And then hope you can find the audience.
I want to do movies but not talk about them.
