#directing

I started making 8mm films when I was 13, so I've been directing for 21 years. ↗

I use something that is a real staple in the directing world. It's called a dance floor. You lay it down so that it's so smooth you can roll around, and you can put furniture on top of it. It's seamless and you don't see it. ↗

Arrogance, pedantry, and dogmatism; the occupational diseases of those who spend their lives directing the intellects of the young. ↗

Directing, writing, producing and starring is just too tough. ↗

Without a great man writing and directing for me, I realised I was a mediocre movie star at best. ↗
