So Much Of The Art Of Film

I Used To Love Going Into Local Hardware Stores, To Look At Little Things They Made Locally. Nowadays It's Harder, Though You Can Still Do It In Vietnam.

It Was The Man's Dream, And His Inspiring Attempt To Make Them Come True That Remain Important.

My Film Isn't About Vietnam. It Is Vietnam. It's What It Was Really Like. It Was Crazy. And The Way We Made It Was Very Much Like The Way The Americans Were In Vietnam. We Were In The Jungle, There Were Too Many Of Us, We Had Access To Too Much Money, Too Much Equipment And Little By Little We Went Insane.

I Wrote The Script Of Patton. I Had This Very Bizarre Opening Where He Stands Up In Front Of An American Flag And Gives This Speech. Ultimately, I Was Fired. When The Script Was Done, They Hired Another Writer And That Script Was Forgotten.

I Made This Movie For $40,000, Which Was This Little Black-and-white Horror Film Called Dementia 13, Which We Made In About Nine Days.
