drag
It's such a drag to make a movie.
agents steps actors
If you do a film with a studio, agents step in, they start saying, 'My actor has to get this amount of money', and it becomes about deals.
made-up-stories done world
Everything I've done has always been my own made up world with its own rules and its own made up stories.
data doe scientist
Data scientists are statisticians because being a statistician is awesome and anyone who does cool things with data is a statistician.
running moving issues
Exploitation films were famous for taking an issue an exploiting it because they could move much faster than a studio could. If there was any hot topic, they would run out and make a quick movie and make a buck on it, by changing it around and using it, in some way, to give some relevance.
thinking people growth
I try to remind people, whether you have a growth manager or a value manager, you're going to go through cycles where you think you have a village idiot.
creativity dvds people
A lot of people who watch DVDs are people who are interested in, if not moviemaking, then creativity in general.
people austin
People don't live in Austin to work, they work to live there.
eye waste six
That six or seven hours you have to be in bed with your eyes closed. What a waste!
people mexico immigration
People talk about immigration, but they won't talk about the corruption that actually exists between Mexico and the U.S.
real issues done
When you make an exploitation film, you always want to have a real issue. That's how they were always done.
noir fans bigs
Yeah, I was always a big fan of noir.
silly people hobbies
Very few people have a lot of time to dedicate to one hobby. I was fortunate to have started so young, because when you're young you have nothing but time. Hours and hours to burn up on something as silly as a movie.
trying film fantastic
Make DV movies so you can learn how to make films, but don't try to distribute them until they are fantastic.
