You Make A Film And You Can't Really Pick The Way It's Put To The Public. You Control The Content, But The Way It's Marketed, Or The Poster, Or What They're Telling The Public About The Film, It's Beyond You. Some People Don't Even See Them, Because They Think They Already Know It. That Can Be Frustrating, When Something You've Done Is Marketed In A Way You Think Is Antithetical To What It Is.

I Do Find Myself At The Moment, Due To The Success Of School Of Rock, To Be On People's Radar A Little.

I Don't Think All Films Should Necessarily Look Like They Do On Digital Video. I Think It Cheats The Audience, At Some Point. If You Try To Make An Epic And You Shoot It Digitally, That Doesn't Make Much Sense. I Think There's A Certain Kind Of Film That Could Be A "digital Film." But It Shouldn't Be Interchangeable With Other Films. It Should Be Something More Than Just A Capture Medium. It Should Be A Different Form Altogether, Something New.

I'd Be Fine If There Weren't Film Festivals, And You Just Made Your Films And Didn't Have To Do Anything From That Point On. That Would Be Really Great, Wouldn't It? I Don't Know. I'm In Kind Of An Aloof Time, Where I'm Not Taking Anything Too Seriously.

I Think Maybe Making Films Is Something Innate You Can't Really Teach To Begin With.
