I had a pretty steep learning curve in film - as I'm still learning.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Film, for me, has been a process of learning on the job.
I always start a film thinking I know how to do it, then I learn all over again.
I always try and learn as much as I can from different departments on a film set.
Every time I do one I feel like I've never really quite learned anything. I always find that when I'm making a film, I find it a little bit like I'm doing it for the first time.
I feel like I'm still learning a lot. I think there's a tendency for people who are just doing their first couple of films that I see now where they seem to be really resentful of the technical limitations that come along with filmmaking.
I did my first film when I was in the final year of my graduation. At that time, I was still a kid, and I couldn't read the industry very well.
I had to spend a few years learning how to do movies. I wasn't really good at that. I was a theatre actor first and foremost. So I took my time learning that.
Every time I make a film, I feel it gives me the chance to learn something new.
Going to film school taught me how much I already knew, and that the best way to learn about film is being on the set with professionals.
I have no schooling in any normal sense but have learned from the best as far as just doing things. I learned filmmaking from loving movies and then just saying, 'OK, let's do it.'
