It is an honor for me to take part in Canon's Project Imagin8ion, partnering with a brand that is empowering young filmmakers and is at the forefront of technology.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Canon is basically a very aggressive company. Our company works on competitive principles. It does not treat people equally, but it does treat them fairly.
Rather than spend millions getting film stars, I am quite happy to be brand ambassador myself.
All my film ideas and subjects have come from photography.
Photography belongs to a fraternity of its own. I was young and enthusiastic and wanted to take good pictures to show the other photographers. That, and the professional pride of convincing an editor that I was the man to go somewhere, were the most important things to me.
I hope I inspire children to make films.
I believe that independent film making is the last frontier of creative expression available. So I'm always willing to lend a helping hand to a young film maker who's just getting into the business.
It's incredible to see the creativity, beauty and hardships people capture when filmmaking is opened up and shared with the world.
Every film I do, I'm involved with from the very conception of the project.
It's taken me 15 years to step behind a camera and make something everyone agrees looks like a movie.
I'm working on bringing the instant film camera back as part of the future.
