I Would Like To Do A Movie

The Kids Are The Ones That Have A Clarity About What They Want. They Don't Have Any Wisdom, But They Do Have A Clear Understanding About What They Want To Have Happen.

I Love Working With Actors. That's What The Set Really Is, For Me. It's My Time With The Actors.

That's The Kind Of Movie That I Like To Make, Where There Is An Invented Reality And The Audience Is Going To Go Someplace Where Hopefully They've Never Been Before. The Details, That's What The World Is Made Of.

I Have A Way Of Filming Things And Staging Them And Designing Sets. There Were Times When I Thought I Should Change My Approach, But In Fact, This Is What I Like To Do. It's Sort Of Like My Handwriting As A Movie Director. And Somewhere Along The Way, I Think I've Made The Decision: I'm Going To Write In My Own Handwriting.

And I Wanted To Do A Movie [moonrise Kingdom] About A Childhood Romance - A Very Powerful Experience Of Childhood Romance. About What It's Like To Just Be Blindsided, When You're In Fifth Grade Or Sixth Grade, By These Kinds Of Feelings. Along The Way, I Sort Of Mixed In Some Interest In "young Adult Fantasy" Writing.
