Cinema is a worldwide phenomenon.

I think it's important that nobody forgets that although Hollywood commercially dominates the world cinema, in fact what comes out of the filmmaking here is only a tiny slice out of the massive amount of operation that goes on around the world.

Movies are something people see all over the world because there is a certain need for it.

Movies are an art form that is very available to the masses.

It's the same the world over. A Hollywood production comes to town, and the locals all turn movie crazy.

The traditional Hollywood system is pretty rigid, but the film scene in, say, South Africa is booming with a lot of possibilities. If you have the cameras and reasonable capital, you can put your film in theatres next to 'Guardians of the Galaxy.' A great example of that was Kagiso Lediga's film 'Blitz Patrole.'

Movies are the biggest export in the world, the biggest American export. It influences people all over the world.

Movies are the shadiest business in the world.

The U.S., especially Hollywood, is so strong for film production.
