A lot of times passion projects or films are difficult to make because they don't have proven directors attached to them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's very difficult to break into motion pictures, but it's oddly easier for directors today because of independent films and cable, who have inherited for the most part those films of substance that the studios are reluctant to finance.
A lot of times, you do independent films for passion because you may even lose money doing one, but it doesn't matter.
People in independent film have a passion; they're not in it for the money.
To be honest with you, a lot of directors can be very lazy.
Film's hard when you don't have any relationship with the director at all and you just show up. Then you really are just a gun for hire.
The problem with most Hollywood movies is they don't give the director enough control.
It's easy to make a film, but it's hard to make a career of being a filmmaker.
In truth, making films doesn't feel like hard work because I always have such a good time doing it.
Making movies is difficult and you get disorientated sometimes - even when you're working with fantastic talent.
Most of the time nothing much is required of directors, which is a pity.
