Everything's a risk, by the way, these days. Every film you make is a risk. There's no guarantee.
I do feel like there's a spirit and a tone you can set that lets people know that they're appreciated for being there. It's a sense of spirit that I think every film should have.
Even if I loved the script, the director has to be right because it's all about the filmmaker. It's their vision. They're the ones that go back into the editing room and reassemble the film.
I had many years where I just worked from film to film to film. And then all of a sudden I went: "Where did I put my bags down? Where's my little place I call home?"
It's such a commitment, making a film, you're really dedicated, it's your life, that's all you do for that period of your life.
I make films for myself, first and foremost, just because it is such a personal experience, and it's something I really have to want to do and feel connected to.
What drives me is what I'm putting out into the world, and I like to make films that people can connect to, or they can escape in.
