I discovered that, in order to write a magnificent piece, you should shoot the images because once you are filming, you are writing the script in your mind.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I write, I imagine scenes. I write things down. I take photographs. I do some casting. I rewrite. It's a permanent making or remaking.
We all write, but the script is a blueprint. We can lose whole scenes when we're shooting.
When I read something, I picture that scene in that detail. That becomes very similar to composing a photo in real life.
I've worked with some of the great cinematographers. So I'm always watching what they do and I'm watching how the director composes his shots, just because I find it interesting as an actor; you're trying to help them out as well.
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.
If you're an actor, you're at the mercy of a script. You've got far more control if you're the photographer.
I think the most satisfying part about filmmaking is seeing a production in full bloom. When I write, I write in isolation.
My truest passion is writing, so I continue to do that on my own while seeing what all the buzz is about being in front of the camera.
There are times when I'm driving home after a day's shooting, thinking to myself, That scene would've been so much better if I had written it out.
I produce the way I would love to be produced: In ways to create the best conditions to make your movie, but also to create a space in which the director calls the shots.
