For me, it's not like I am going to look at the money the director's film has made before their film... For me, it is about working with the director whose work I have admired.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I like to be able to understand the feeling of the director, that a film corresponds to something in his life. Otherwise, it doesn't interest me much.
At the end of the day, it is about working in a good film. It's the films that you leave behind that matter.
Do you know what directors go through? It's just hell. Like, why do I work so hard - to think I'm only going to see this movie five times and then never see it again 'cause I'm so sick of it? What is it worth, honestly?
I've definitely become more aware and conscious of what directors I'm working with because it's so important. The director is really more than half the battle of the film. You really rely on that. That's become really, really important to me, for sure.
I don't run after successful directors. I give importance to the content of the film.
When I'm writing a movie, it's usually pretty close to what the movie is going to be, which is just a luxury of being a writer-director.
When you agree to work with a filmmaker, it's important that you accept their world. It's an adventure. I like that. I throw myself into the director's arms, into their universe.
Film work can be very interesting, but it also can be awfully boring because who creates the film? The actors? No. It is the director. It's his piece of work.
On every movie I've done as a director, I look at the producers and having done it, I don't envy them, at all.
For me, the filmmaking has to be about the dramaturgy.
