Censorship of ideas or images or words is wrong. |
I never want to become arrogant and think I've made a flawless movie. |
We should assume that the end product can be switched off by any consumer who is offended or frightened by it. |
I have done some short pieces that are not horror. |
I like the fact that major studios have been attempting horror films recently. |
I think you get out of film school what you put into it. If you don't care about making movies, film school will do you no good. |
Also, I plan to screw something up on every movie I do so that I can learn from my mistakes and become a better director with each project. |
The horror genre is important because it promotes experimentation in filmmaking. |
If a violent act towards a woman takes place, and the inspiration for that act is violence in cinema, the inspiration for that act would have come from somewhere else if movies didn't exist. |
I've also directed, shot, and edited several music videos. |
This indication of audience interest is good for all horror movie makers at any budget level. |
Everyone has an opinion, and the guy screaming for censorship may be the next guy to have his ideas cut off. |
More people are exposed to movies than to most other forms of art. |
I think the act of condensing months or years of work down to a couple hours of entertainment is pretty wild and extremely rewarding. |
Cinema has only been around for about 100 years. Has all of the world's violence towards women taken place only within the past 100 years? |
We should all have the opportunity to express what we want to express. |
When I'm working on a movie, I will make any sacrifice to finish it. |
In this way, some film schools can be destructive. |
I aspire to eventually be making my living by making movies. |
And the fact that you must make the movie for yourself because no one else will ever fully appreciate the endeavor, makes it a more rewarding challenge. |
