  • Quotes
    After all, you're supporting something. That's what I do. The main thing is that you have communication with the filmmaker. By the time you get it, they've been on it for years. In six weeks I'm expected to crystallize their ideas. Psychologically, it's very stressful for them because it's the only time they lose control of the film.
