There are no rules in filmmaking. Only sins. And the cardinal sin is dullness.
There are no rules in filmmaking
The most honest form of filmmaking is to make a film for yourself.

Find your own specific voice in filmmaking and go for it. Either people will get it or they won't and that's what it's all about.
Filmmaking is a miracle of collaboration.
