When You're Working With A Smaller Budget

Try To Produce Your Own Films, Avoid Directing For Hire.

I Mean, If You Are Directing Actors To Do One Thing And Then Directing Them To Do Something Else Entirely Because The One Thing You Wanted Them To Do May Not Work, Then You Are Just Shattering Their Confidence In The Project.

You Can Talk About Holocaust Denial, But It's Really Marginal For The Most Part. What Is Compelling About The Armenian Genocide, Is How It Has Been Forgotten.

I Think In The '80s, When I Started Making Films, We Were All Suspicious Of These Technologies. We Were All Convinced They Would Filter Out Any Emotion And Sense Of Intimacy, And The Films I Made During That Period Reflected That. In Fact, What Has Happened Is The Opposite. I Think We're Saturated With A Degree Of Intimacy We Would Never Have Expected, And We're Trying To Sort Through This Idea Of Complete Access To Each Other's Lives On An Ongoing Basis. Our Emotions Aren't Filtered Out At All. They're Actually Accelerated.
