Time and time again I was told that I would never make the film on time and never make it on budget. That kind of criticism tends to turn me into a great big motor of efficiency.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been lucky enough to work with some great directors, and I don't want to throw that away by doing one big horrible big budget film.
Just trying to get a film made which is always difficult no matter what kind of a budget you have. Not having a budget makes it even more difficult. Having nineteen days and no budget makes it extremely difficult.
Some day I'll make a film that critics will like. When I have money to waste.
To me, it doesn't make any sense to pick your work based on the size of the budget of the movie.
I love films that are made with almost no budget.
Other writers, producers, and directors of low-budget films would often put down the film they were making, saying it was just something to make money with. I never felt that. If I took the assignment, I'd give it my best shot.
A big budget studio film is slower, they've got so much to create around you. Everything is more complicated.
When you're shooting a movie that's not necessarily a huge budget, you have to think about what you can leave out and still make it interesting.
Talking to other people who make low-budget movies, everyone kind of has the same struggle.
I am so picky about what films I get myself into because it's such an explosion of energy and commitment once you get in there, you destroy your life until you deliver these films. I never want to be in the position of making films that won't be a great use of 90 minutes of someone's life.
