I Want My Movies To Be Audience

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.

People Want To Know If I Have A Moral Standpoint That They Should Be Picking Up On, And The Truth Is, I Don't. I Don't Want People To Think That I'm Trying To Tell Them To Feel A Certain Way. I Think That's Cheap Filmmaking.

Well, Toronto, I Consider To Be The Birthplace Of My Films. I've Made Three Films And This Is The Third One To Premiere Here In The Same Theater On The Same Day At The Same Time - They Are My Audience. They're The People That I Think About While I'm Writing, Directing, And Editing. I Specifically Make Movies For Them.

I Used To Have A Group Called Bad-movie Saturday. Every Saturday, Six Of Us Would Go See The Worst Movie That Came Out Each Weekend. It'd Be Noon In Burbank. It Was Just A Running Commentary. All Executives - We Would Each Talk Through The Movie And Make Jokes.

And I Certainly Like Being On A Plane, Next To A Stranger, Having Conversations That You'd Never Otherwise Have. You're Unplugged, Your Phone Doesn't Work, You're Not Online.
