thinking interesting creative
The technical process which is interesting in it's own right but I think the creative process is what's more intriguing to me.
right-time right-now
The right time is always right now.
opportunity risk bigger
Every time I took these bigger risks, the opportunity for a bigger payout was always there.
jobs mediums creator
Our job as creators is to further define any medium.
cooking preparation
I always see the filming as basically going to the grocery store and buying a bunch of ingredients and that's about as far from having a dinner as you can possibly be. Then editing is the cooking, the preparation of the meal and if you don't edit it you've just got a pile of raw meat.
life-is
A shared life is a great life.
kind film
That for me is what intrigues me the most about feature films. It's not like the little kind of esoteric projects that you and your friends get but how do you make something that has a universal appeal. Those are the movies that intrigue me the most.
fun sat
The approach to that movie wasn't, 'Lets make this movie about Amsterdam and maple syrup.' The concept was, 'Lets go to Amsterdam. Amsterdam is fun.' So we flew to Amsterdam with our cameras and we saw what happened and then we got back and we sat down and we said, 'What's the movie here.' That's when we realized that the movie was 'The Maple Syrup Saga'.
ultimate
Then HBO was the pie in the sky. HBO is the absolute ultimate.
kids one-day
One day it was that I wanted to go make a movie with my kid and then another day it was that I wanted to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and another day it was that I wanted to sit in the studio and figure something out. All those things manifested themselves into what the TV show was.
