When I was growing up, I loved the films where you'd start them and the score might sound really odd at first and really different, and then by the time you finish, you can't imagine it being any other way.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've produced a couple of films and really enjoyed starting it from the very beginning and seeing it all the way through to the end; that was very gratifying.
The score, which comes often quite later in a film, can help reinvigorate your emotional engagement with it.
I didn't start out with a spectacular movie. Many people think you don't have to go from nothing to the top; they think you start at the top.
You have to write a good score that you feel good about. At least, you're supposed to. But, if the director hates it, it ain't going to be in the movie!
I go to movies expecting to have a whole experience. If I want a movie that doesn't end, I'll go to a French movie. That's a betrayal of trust to me. A movie has to be complete within itself; it can't just build off the first one or play variations.
I grew up on film scores and scores from films.
When I was in school, and even after, I did a lot of classic plays, and I guess it sort of extended into film.
Going into my second film as a director, it's night and day of what it was like going into my first film. It doesn't matter what you know in your head and what you've been taught until you're there and doing it; it's a whole new ball game.
I don't think I'd ever start making a film until I had both the intimacy with the subject and the distance to make it live in a certain way.
Every time I start a film I feel like I'm starting the first time, ever.
