Some directors don't get involved in the cinematography and are just about story, but I'm definitely more tactile than that in terms of my involvement in the minutiae.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The most nurturing of directors can make you feel too comfortable, and you don't really push for that extra whatever.
A lot of directors prefer the solitude of the editing process, but I revel in the craziness of what a film set is.
Many times I felt like I'd do better than what the director did, but some of them got a little discouraged because they didn't have full charge of making the film, and sometimes there'd be battles of egos.
I think I'm drawn to films more as a director with a directorial mind even as an actor. I make movies to make the films, not to act.
I don't run after successful directors. I give importance to the content of the film.
I view filmmaking as a director's medium.
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.
I get along great with directors, but I think some producers would tell you I'm a pain. They may say I'm tough to work with, but I have a great passion for what I do. I believe in fighting for it.
I'm very manipulative towards directors. My theory is that everyone on the set is directing the film, we're all receiving art messages from the universe on how we should do the film.
Oddly, in a sense, I still have more confidence as a director than my ability as a writer. Somehow, directing is just really easy. It's just about being really honest about how you feel about what you're seeing.
