I Have One Of The Original 'ghostbusters'

I Think It's A Mistake For Young Filmmakers To Just Buy Digital Equipment And Shoot A Feature. Make Short Films First, Make Your Mistakes And Learn From Them.

I Hate Movies That Tell People What To Think. I'm Proud That Democrats Thought 'thank You For Smoking' Was Their Film And Republicans Thought It Was Theirs. I'm Proud That Pro-choice People Thought 'juno' Was Their Film And Pro-life People Thought It Was Theirs.

When You're Young, You Want To Make Every Kind Of Film: Musicals, Westerns, Horror. Slowly You Begin To Hear Your Own Voice. I Hope People Receive What I Do As Small, Personal Films That Are Somewhat Contrarian About Their Main Characters.

From The Onset Of The 'live-read' Series, We Wanted To Hit All The Major Writers And Woody Allen Is Simply One Of The Greatest Screenwriters Of All Time. He Has Ability To Match Pathos And Comedy And Drama And Then Turn It All On A Dime. If You're Going To Make A Series Based On Dialogue, You Can't Find Much Better Than Woody Allen.

Filmmaking Is Finding A Piece Of Granite And You Start To Chip Away And Then You Have The Shape Of A Head, The Shape Of The Arm, You Can See The Shape Of The Face And The Face Starts To Gather Character. You Have To Find It.
