If You're Not Making Epic, Archetypal Films

Whenever I'm Asked About Independent Cinema, I Think Of What Fidel Castro Said During The Cold War About The League Of Non-aligned Nations. He Said That Really, There Were Only Two Non-aligned Nations: The U.s. And The Ussr. The Rest Of Us Have To Be Aligned Somewhere. I Say Similarly, In A Way, Paramount, Sony, And Warner Bros. Are The Only True Independents, Because They're The Only Ones Who Can Do Whatever They Want And Have Distribution For Their Films Built In.

I Like Action Films, Not Exclusively, But I Like Samurai Films. I Like Westerns. Not So Much War Pictures, But A Few. I Like Kinetic Cinema.

Cinema Really Lends Itself Well To Big, Archetypal Stories, You Know, Classic Old Stories And You Need Kind Of A Weird, Big Terrain Like The Japanese Plains For Samurai Movies Or The West. You Need That For These Giants To Walk Around.

I Like Voice-over In Films, And Most Of My Films Have Been Voice-over Films.

In Real Life, I Myself Am Kind Of A Rambling Guy. I Like To Travel.
