I Was Once A Shameless, Full-time Dope

My Department Is To Get Actors To Do Stuff.

And Later I Thought, I Can't Think How Anyone Can Become A Director Without Learning The Craft Of Cinematography.

Even If You Try To Copy A Film Shot By Shot, You Still Can't. It's Still Your Own Film.

I've Always Been Interested In How To Present Something That Relates To Our Reality - Which Is Not Really... I Don't Even Know If Documentary Itself Does As Good A Job. It Has Its Own Problems In Trying To Get At The Reality Of The Situation.

There's A Lot Of Films That Have Relatively Rigid Road Maps Because They Have A Script And Others That Are Less Rigid Because They Have Less Of A Script, Like 'elephant.' The Road Map Becomes More Interpretive, Maybe, Than One With A Detailed Script. Editing-wise, They All Have Their Problems.
