If anything I try to write something that would be more difficult to film. I tend to see film as competition and would like instead to do what books do best.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In that sense, film is superior, but the difficulty is your lack of control as a writer.
Most of my writing work has been in film. I have done some TV, but most of it has been in film.
I eventually want to do writing on all the films, but not necessarily to be the writer. Writing is a painful, painful thing; it really is.
I can't do a film if I don't start with the writing.
I want to write a film. I need to think of the right idea and focus on that; I love writing.
Writing has certain advantages; film is another way to tell a story. An experienced filmmaker will take what she needs from the book and leave out other things. With adaptations, you never get the texture of the writing: it's a different mode.
I think the most satisfying part about filmmaking is seeing a production in full bloom. When I write, I write in isolation.
I did some writing and bought a book, and have been working on that as a film to act and direct in.
I don't actually sit down and write, but I just have a lot of different ideas about films and making movies.
You know, I feel like my job is to write a book. Then filmmakers come and they make a movie. And they're two really different art forms.
