Obviously You Have A Responsibility - One

Generally In My Films Like Hearts Of Darkness Or Picture This, I Try Not To Make Myself A Presence In The Film.

I Love The Grandiosity Of Hollywood Movies, And Even In Independents, I Love The Canvas You Can Tell Your Story On. I Love Fiction Filmmaking, You Really Feel Like You're Creating Something.

Theres Something Unique About The United States, A Sense Of Individual Rights And Freedoms, And A Sense Of Social And Civic Responsibility That We Contributed To So Much Of The World. We Lost That Mission In The 1980s And 1990s, When We Entered A Gilded Age, And The Culture Of Individualism Became A Culture Of Avarice.

Obviously You Have A Responsibility - One Would Like To Think There Is Such A Thing As Ethics In Filmmaking.

At Times Doc Filmmaking Feels More Rewarding Creatively. Because You Are Creating Something Out Of Pure Cinema - Instead Of Narrative Cinema, Where You've Got A Script And A Cast And You Build From Your Foundation, Whereas In Documentary, You're Building Out Of Chaos.
