There are three rules: 1) Write and direct original screenplays, 2) make them with the most modern technology available, and 3) self-finance them.<br />
The cinema language happened by experimentation – by people not knowing what to do. But unfortunately, after 15-20 years, it became a commercial industry. People made money in the cinema, and then they began to say to the pioneers, “Don’t experiment. We want to make money. We don’t want to take chances.”<br />
An essential element of any art is risk. If you don’t take a risk then how are you going to make something really beautiful, that hasn’t been seen before?<br />
// The only risk is to waste your life, so that when you die, you say, “Oh, I wish I had done this.” I did everything I wanted to do, and I continue to. // You have to remember that it’s only a few hundred years, if that much, that artists are working with money. Artists never got money. Artists had a patron, Or they had another job. As we enter into a new age, maybe art will be free.
