Quotes

Michael Thomas Dunn

  • Success is inevitable if you pursue it long enough...
  • The last day that I dream is the first day that I'm dead.
  • It's impossible to learn about everything... But you can still try.
  • If you truly love what you do - then it's not a job anymore.
  • I'd rather drive the "little engine that could" than skipper the Titanic. (commenting on the Indie Film Ranch/MTD Studios)
  • I'll know what I'm looking for when I find it.
  • Break all the rules! Whoever wrote the rules (of filmmaking) never gave the audience enough credit.
  • You know when we were first getting started with filming in Central Florida back in 2001 -- I was inspired by Robert Rodriguez and what he did with El Mariachi. To make such a great film with just $7,000. He's an amazing director and a true visionary. When I made Alone and Restless with a similar amount of money -- I was striving to create another memorable feature film like Mariachi. Although, Alone and Restless is a completely different film in another genre -- I'm very proud of the results. I also have to give Rodriguez credit for proving that a good feature film could produced on such a limited budget. It was like a proof of concept -- you know, a business model for all those rising independent filmmakers could use to get started with their career.
  • I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. I was usually the 'dumb kid' in all my classes. But I'm very versatile.
