I'm A Product Of Older Filmmakers I

There Are Many Stories Of People Didn't Set Out To Make A Film That Became A Classic - The Whole Process Was A Disaster, Everybody Hated Each Other, The Movie Itself Was A Disaster, Everybody Thought The Movie And The Script Was Going To Be A Piece Of Crap. Look At Alfred Hitchcock And Psycho. Nobody Wanted To Make Psycho; It Was Crap To Them. The Only Person That Wanted To Make Psycho Was Hitchcock. Now, It's Considered A Classic And A Work Of Art.

It's A Hard Line To Walk, Man. Cause You Know You Want To Make This Movie, You Want To Make It Dark And Real, You Want To Show All This Stuff But Unfortunately You Can't Always Do That.

Even The Westerns That I Grew Up With, The Sergio Leone's And All That, There Was Always A Sort Of Anti-hero, A Guy Reluctant To Shame Even, To Pick Up The Gun Again Because He Wants To Help Other People, And He Does, He Uses His Skills For That.

My Experience Of Test Screenings Is That You Don't Know What Kind Of Mood People Are Going To Be In, And Sometimes The Studios Accept What Joe Blo Says - And This Guy Could Just Be A Frustrated Filmmaker, Or Not Paying Attention.

It's A Dumb Question, Because I Don't Look At Things As A Black Director, Just As A Director, So Ask Me As A Director First And We Can Segue Into The Colour Thing Later.
