I Think Of Myself As

As Soon As You Start Making A Film That's Expensive Then The Studio Wants Total Control Over All Elements Of It Because They Want To Get All Their Money Back. If You Make A Smaller Film You Can Try A Lot More Things Because You Can Have Control Over It And Not Just Be A Hired Director. The Lower The Budget The More Freedom You Have.

I Like Actors Who Just Become That Person And Then React, And Adam [driver] Is Completely Reactive In That Way. So Every Day Working With Him Was Really A Pleasure. And He's In Almost Every Scene In The Film, So The Poor Guy Had To Work The - Almost The Entire 30 Days Of Our Film Shoot. But, Yeah, He Was Really A Pleasure, And I Really Love What He - How He Embodied This Character.

I Think Of Myself As An Amateur Filmmaker, Not A Professional, In The Sense That "amateur" Means Love Of Something, For The Form.
