It doesn't matter where it is in the world or who I'm making the movie with; that's the closest thing that I've got to a sense of placement.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I look for the role that excites me and work with whoever that director happens to be, wherever he wants to shoot the film.
I think, probably, the place that I feel I most belong is a movie set.
I don't really care where I work, actually, because you know making a movie is like living in movie world. There's such a secluded world, and the director is the king ruling the country, and everybody's building this little town to speak in symbolism.
I like to be in a different place when I make a movie so that I can't really focus on anything else, and that is your world.
Normally as a director, you do look at other films and things that are relevant. But with this film, it became impossible because I became so aware of the camera placement.
Before I started to make films, I didn't give much thought to the way the characters were physically positioned in the story world.
The only thing that matters to me is getting to the work - getting to do the work. And I don't really care where it is: whether it's on stage or on television or in film.
I can honestly say I've never chosen a film because where it's shot is convenient.
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.
Choosing location is integral to the film: in essence, another character.
