ability both goal guide hire impose looking love series side view
We try to guide with a light touch. Sometimes we can be helpful, and my goal with my team, both on the series side and on the film side, is that the collaboration should always be invited. In other words, we're not looking to impose our view on the filmmaker; we hire a storyteller because we love the story, and we love their ability to tell it.
amazing cannot experience films home presented replicate seeing videos watching
There are films like 'Interstellar' where you cannot replicate the experience of seeing it in IMAX - it's an amazing film presented in a spectacular way. It really is an experience, like going to Disneyland, and you can't replicate that by watching home videos of going to Disneyland.
watched
Netflix has always had this interesting ability to get non-mainstream content to be watched by the mainstream.
breathing execution good life love
I always love that phrase, 'Oh, this is a good idea, but it's execution dependent.' As if anything in life is not execution dependent. Breathing is execution-dependent.
french projects
A lot of our animation projects are co-productions with French production companies.

David Fincher's work has all been incredibly well-received on Netflix, and Kevin Spacey's films have all worked on Netflix.

I don't think on-demand brings anything extra to sports.
experience love
I love, personally, the experience of going to the theater, going to the cinema.

I think when you see 'Ridiculous Six,' the show speaks for itself in terms of its treatment of American Indians.

If you want to go out and see a movie and sit in a dark room with strangers, it's not an experience you can replicate at home.

In the first week of release, 'Beasts Of No Nation' was the most watched movie on Netflix, in every country we operate in.
