means movies open order spending studio
The big studio movies are spending more and more money, which means they have to open in more theatres in order to re-coup their investment.
jobs reality cinema
Even in the realest American cinema that I see, there's still not that sense that this is reality. There's still that sense that you are watching a movie. And hopefully, if we did get our jobs right, that sense disappears when you watch this movie.
character shining development
In horror, character development is often pushed aside in favor of the shock value. The best genre movies to me are movies like The Shining. You had a connection to the characters in that film.
pain joy roles
Pain is pain, joy is joy - you can't avoid bringing pieces of yourself into a role.
have-faith film audience
I ultimately have faith though, that good films will find their audience.
finding-the-one worry next
I've done almost 20 films and I still worry about not finding the next one.
jobs freak good-job
I would love to direct some day. It's a good job for a control freak.
empathy levels roles
I'm less interested in slasher, and go more for roles that can affect you on a personal level. I'm interested in human empathy in the movies I see, and in the ones I am a part of.
character practice knowing
The first thing I do when I read a part is see if I can identify emotionally with a character. If I make that connection, everything else is just working on knowing their life circumstances and manifesting those through practice and research.
