david ford john lean spielberg steven watch
I like how you can go back and watch David Lean and John Ford and see the influence that had on Steven Spielberg, especially David Lean, in the camerawork, and yet, you don't watch any Spielberg movie and think of David Lean. Once you're looking for it, you see it all, but it's not in your face.
age grew movies people
Like a lot of people my age, I grew up on Amblin movies. They're a part of who I am as a filmmaker and, arguably, as a person.
fiercely michael mind musical
Michael Giacchino is a fiercely creative musical mind and a true 'Jurassic Park' fan.
filmmakers films people relationship
I feel like, on a more macro scale, there's started to be a relationship between filmmakers and people who watch their films - you know, on Twitter and on the Internet.
films good shot slick technology
I feel a lot of films that are shot digitally, even low-budget independent films, they look super slick now. Because the technology is so good that they look too good.
movies position smaller
I'm in a kind of weird position where I want to prove that I can do smaller movies.

advance cinematic experience magicians mystery point proponent reached telling theatrical tricks
I'm such a proponent of the theatrical experience and the cinematic experience, and we've reached this point where the magicians are not only giving away their tricks, but they're telling us how they're doing the tricks in advance before you even come to the magic show. It'd be nice to get a little of the mystery back in.
kid movies watched
I was not a kid who watched every movie. I watched a very small number of movies over and over again.
amazing bringing feels gambling room scene stuff talking
I was re-watching 'E.T.' recently, and that scene where they're all around the pizza, bringing the pizza in, and gambling and stuff together, it's such an amazing tone, it's so rough, and nobody's really talking about anything, and it feels like you're in that room with them.
exist humans scale
Intimacy between humans need not be relegated to independent film. Real characters can exist no matter what the scale of a movie is.
almost childhood idyllic life men rest women
Where I live, in Vermont, there's this thing that women know about men, which is this disease: their childhood was so idyllic that nothing in the rest of their life can ever be satisfying. It's almost a plague.
build earlier filmmakers films forget love stories talk time took
We've all been disappointed by new installments of the stories we love. But with all this talk of filmmakers 'ruining our childhood,' we forget that right now is someone else's childhood. This is their time. And I have to build something that can take them to the same place those earlier films took us.
basis dinosaur fit park perfectly regular surrounded
We're so surrounded by so much of this marketing and just being told on a regular basis that you have to like this, you will go here, you want this. I found that to me that fit perfectly into what a theme park of dinosaur would be about.
