When you're making a film all by yourself, that requires you to have quite a bit of a point of view in order for anything to get done.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You may not quite understand the cinematic tricks that go behind the making of a film, but as long as you feel it, I think that's the important thing.
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.
Making movies is a way of understanding myself and the world.
My point was that it's hard to make good films, but I'm not under any illusion that you do all the time.
When I go to a film, you're taking it easy and you let things wash over you. That's what cinema's all about. You get involved in a world that's being created in front of you.
When you come to do the film, it is not the time to wonder why you do it. It's just how to do it.
In film, you're so much in the hands and at the mercy of the editor, so sometimes it's good to watch it just to see how it turns out - it can be so different than how you imagined it. But sometimes it's better to just let it go for your own sense of self worth.
As a filmmaker, the only way that I understand how to make a film is holistically.
If you are going to do a film properly you have to give yourself completely to it.
As soon as anybody puts anything on film, it automatically has a point of view, and it's somebody else's point of view, and it's impossible for it to be yours.
