I enjoy the details. I enjoy coming up with ideas for improving the script, changing scenes and deciding what locations and wardrobe should be - the process of making a film.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For me, the script is important. If it excites me, I'll do the film.
First and foremost, I look for a great script. Then, the team that I am working with. Only then, we will be able to come up with a good film.
If it's an excellent script, I enjoy it tremendously, the acting part of it.
I got involved in script development from the beginning. It was nice to see how a film gets made right from the beginning. It was quite hands-on for me.
For me, it's important that the script is good. Then a good director will want to make it.
I think the first thing I consider is whether I like the script. Once that is done, the next thing I look for is my part in the movie. Many a times you come across good offers, but the part they are offering might not be challenging. So, I don't take up that film.
For me, each film, each script is like a little journey in itself, and I'm reinventing the wheel. It's like, 'How do I make this film?' That's part of the pleasure, and that's why I'm not a normal professional director.
I love film and have taken a stab at a screenplay. I love writing dialogue and found it highly enjoyable.
I find that the projects I enjoy signing up to at the moment are with a director who's interested in the script - isn't completely sure what the movie is and isn't concerned about it. He's just interested in going on the journey and discovering it.
I always choose my projects for the script or what the director want to tell with that story. And if I like the story.
