In film and television we are oftentimes so pampered that the truths are withheld.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We have a responsibility to show the public the kinds of truths that they don't see on the TV news or the Hollywood film.
In documentaries, there's a truth that unfolds unnaturally, and you get to chronicle it. In narratives, you have to create the situations so that the truth will come out.
Every fact in my films is true. And yet how often do I have to read over and over again about supposed falsehoods?
We don't have truth delivered to us very often, especially in this very commercialized world.
Truth disappears with the telling of it.
Not every truth is the better for showing its face undisguised; and often silence is the wisest thing for a man to heed.
I'm a filmmaker. I'm always searching for the truth in everything I do. I demand it from my writing partner and my crew, actors, and so hopefully, we're making people think.
Truth is quite constricting, in a way. You endlessly see at the start of a film 'This is a true story'.
I've always operated under the notion that audiences don't always know when they're being lied to, but that they always know when they're being told the truth.
People see truth in my films. That's what they react to, and that's what they relate to.
