You always make a film with the hope that all types of people will want to see your work and that it doesn't matter about your color, but unfortunately it still does.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's one thing which I hate about color films... people who use up a lot of their despairing producer's money by working in the laboratory to bring out the dominant hues, or to make color films where there isn't any color.
I like making black and white films in natural surroundings, but I much prefer shooting a color film inside a studio where the colors are easier to control.
I tell people if I want to make a film I just go make it so you can make yours.
I used to hate doing color. I hated transparency film. The way I did color was by not wanting to know what kind of film was in my camera.
There are different sides to me; I wanted to make a personal film but I would not want to make any film that does not reflect me in it. At least, not right now. I'm just too young to be doing that.
If I or any other black can deliver at the box office, I'll get a lot of work. Too many young actors, regardless of their color, try to play an attitude on camera and fail to remember their job is to fit into an entertainment.
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.
Simultaneously, the movie business now experiments with a colorblind approach to casting.
I kind of always think my work is unfilmable, and when I meet people who are interested in filming it, I'm always stunned.
The problem with trying to make a film good and have it work for an audience is the problem of trying to tell a story well. The shape or the color of it doesn't matter.
