Every good writer or filmmaker has something eating at them, right? That they can't quite get off their back . And so your job is to make your audience care about your obsessions.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I do write about obsession, but I don't think I have an obsession for writing. I'm not a compulsive writer. I like to watch obsession in other people, watch the way it makes them behave.
You become so obsessed, and that's not a bad thing for a movie. Serve it with that sense that it's the whole world.
Writers are just like other people, except slightly more obsessed.
The work is a calling. It demands that type of obsession.
For a film to be viable, it has to survive this process of scrutiny. I think most filmmakers have obsessive-compulsive tendencies and would be completely unemployable in any other job - so it's great to be able to channel your psychological anomalies into something productive and creative.
When you're making movies you've got to get obsessive.
When you aren't doing too many films, people find other things to write about you.
How do I let the director know how obsessed I am and willing to do anything for the movie? Like, I wanted to write this one director a letter, so I wrote him a handwritten note. But then I was like, 'How many people are writing this guy handwritten letters? Is it going to seem cheesy? What do I do?'
You have to keep your audience in your mind; if you're writing stuff that you know nobody's going to care about then you should rethink what you're doing!
If you don't have obsessions, don't write. my characters are obsessed.
