I Think A Movie Is

There's A Certain Time In The Core Of Making A Movie From Pre-production To Halfway Through Post-production I Don't Read Any Project, My Agent Will Tell People That "he's Not Reading." And Then When I Know How The Movie's Probably Gonna Work Halfway Into Post-production, I'll Come Along.

Making This Movie As A Period Piece About A Period That Was Very Recent In People's Minds. I Was In Taiwan [during The 1970s], So I Hope I Did All Right. Otherwise, It Could Be The Biggest Embarrassment Of My Life. Also, The Story Is Not Linear, It's Patchy, Like A Cubist Painting, And There Is Always The Possibility It Will Not Hold Together, It Will Fall Apart. The Tone Is Part Satire, Part Serious Drama, Part Tragedy, All Mixed Together, And It Has To Hit An Emotional Core. That's Also Very Scary.

I Think Each Movie-making Process Is A Very Exhausting And Satisfying And Fulfilling Experience For Me.

I Don't Have Incredible Knowledge About Films Or Of Filmmaking History; I'm Not That Kind Of Person.

American Films Are Less American Every Day, Because You Have To Please A World Audience. There's Less Authenticity, So It's More Accessible.
