Most of my technical knowledge comes from having worked in the industrial video industry. |
Violent behavior exists in one's psychological makeup much deeper than the level that receives information from television or movies. |
Subject matter that is not bound to reality offers more opportunity to write a unique story and cinematically present it in very unique ways. |
Each feature I make is my focus at that time. |
Movies are an art form that is very available to the masses. |
Yet I never want to make a movie purely for the money. |
I'm not impressed by someone's degree... I'm impressed by them making movies. |
Many of us view the bible and other religious teachings as mythology. |
To us, basing stories on christianity is the same as basing stories on Roman mythology, Native American folklore, or unsubstantiated government conspiracies. |
I have never seen a connection between cinematic violence towards women and actual violence towards women in society. |
I position everything else in my life around making movies. |
I am not stopped by low funds, physical exhaustion, mental exhaustion, or temptations to stop and work on some other production that would be more financially rewarding. |
I did not go to film school. |
Directors who turn into big babies and shut out criticism stop learning. |
