I was making a lot of 8mm home movies, since I was twelve, making little dramas and comedies with the neighborhood kids.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was making films when I was about 12 years old - Super-8 films.
By the time I was 10 or 11, I knew I wanted to make films.
I was part of a group that had a cinema club so every week we would project two or three movies on 16 or 35mm.
I had been working early in my life in films - since I was 11.
I made movies all the time when I was a kid.
I think by around the time I was about 8 or 9, the idea of filmmaking probably took hold. I made little Super 8 extravaganzas when I was a kid, the first being my own version of 'Romeo and Juliet,' and where I played all the parts except for Juliet.
I did little theater things growing up.
I started making 8mm films when I was 13, so I've been directing for 21 years.
I started making little films with a 16 mm camera as an undergraduate at Yale. My first job out of college was 'assistant editor' on a forgettable low budget feature.
I started when I was eight, doing super 8 films.
