In a movie, you're raw material, just a hue of some color and the director makes the painting.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you create a movie, you create something in your image.
I love film - it's like painting.
In my experience a painting is not made with colors and paint at all. I don't know what a painting is; who knows what sets off even the desire to paint?
You always make a film with the hope that all types of people will want to see your work and that it doesn't matter about your color, but unfortunately it still does.
For example, in painting the form arises from abstract elements of line and color, while in cinema the material concreteness of the image within the frame presents - as an element - the greatest difficulty in manipulation.
Filmmakers are going to make films, just like painters are going to paint.
When I was in pre-production for Trees Lounge, I was hearing the cinematographer talking with the production designer about colours and this and that, and feeling like I was losing control.
Film acting has been a very pure experience, because you have to give the purest form of yourself as an artist.
An artist makes a painting, and nobody bugs him or her about it. It's just you and your painting. To me, that's the way it should be with film as well.
In film, you're painting a canvas. I got really excited about that.
