Filmmakers Quotes

Showtime has given new, young filmmakers - black, white, across the board - an opportunity to make films, as well as actors who want to cross over into directing Picture Quote #1

Pretty much all films I’ve seen that depict the life of Christ end with the Crucifixion, almost like the filmmakers don’t know what to do after Picture Quote #1

Young filmmakers are supposed to be the young turks that advance the current state of filmmaking ideas Picture Quote #1

In a world where we can all be our own filmmakers, the old elites are disappearing and there is no desire to look at somebody else’s dream anymore because you can go off and make your own Picture Quote #1

Genre expectations can kill creativity. If you do something different, it will get hated. The best filmmakers can do everything on the approval list and knock it out of the park. For me, I have a hard time being creative when I have to color in between the lines Picture Quote #1

I will say that comic books are not the easiest things to translate to film, number one. Even the most well meaning of filmmakers find what’s acceptable on the printed page is very difficult to bring to film Picture Quote #1

I think it’s a mistake for young filmmakers to just buy digital equipment and shoot a feature. Make short films first, make your mistakes and learn from them Picture Quote #1

I think my biggest advice to filmmakers is to look into the many digital platforms that exist for you and your team to distribute your film Picture Quote #1

We need more filmmakers of color telling the story. I’d like to see more filmmakers take their products out independently, put together a good commercial film and distribute it online Picture Quote #1

Early 1900s Hollywood was full of farmers battling to hold onto their land against a new influx of filmmakers who dug Hollywood’s reliable weather and diverse landscape Picture Quote #1

I go to conventions and universities and talk to young filmmakers and everybody’s making a zombie movie! It’s because it’s easy to get the neighbors to come out, put some ketchup on them Picture Quote #1

Blu-ray and the technologies emerging around it are the premiere format for reproducing what we do as filmmakers. There’s more space on the disc, more bit rate Picture Quote #1

I was very inspired by Les Blank’s film ‘Burden of Dreams.’ I think what’s unique about his film and the two I’ve made is that they’re close examinations of filmmakers and how their own emotional experiences reflect in the material they’re rendering, and vice versa - how that material sometimes colors their own lives Picture Quote #1

In our society, as women filmmakers, we are expected to make films that empower women and that raise awareness about women’s issues. That is a huge misconception Picture Quote #1

Ageism,’ or whatever you want to call it, is a very English phenomenon. You don’t get it too much in many other cultures. And no one says it about authors or poets or filmmakers. ‘Oh, they’re too old to make films or write books.’ Picture Quote #1

You grow up watching certain films or admiring certain filmmakers, and to write a love letter to one and have them validate it, it’s extraordinary Picture Quote #1

I’ve always played that edge of fact and fiction. I used to be a filmmaker, and certainly in film that’s a line that filmmakers cross more readily and more easily than novelists Picture Quote #1

Filmmakers don’t work for posterity. We create with celluloid and chemical pigments that don’t last very long. They fade away. In 200 years there will be nothing left of our work but dust Picture Quote #1

Movies are not novels, and that’s why, when filmmakers try to adapt novels, particularly long or complex novels, the result is almost always failure. It can’t be done Picture Quote #1

I guess that in this process of trying to incorporate or to be faithful to the films I admire so much, that’s how I start to find my own voice. The admiration I have for filmmakers, this gratitude, perhaps that’s my only way to become specific Picture Quote #1

Roman Polanski is one of my favorite filmmakers, and John Phillips one of my favorite songwriters. I had the honor to meet each of these men and was almost giddy to be blessed with the chance to tell each artist what his work meant has to me Picture Quote #1

I did ‘Red Riding,’ which is TV in the U.K. It became a feature project in North America, but we’re in a great era of TV. We all know that, and we hear it all the time, but for filmmakers, it’s just a godsend to have your television writing and work to do on television, and the means to do it properly Picture Quote #1

I always tell younger filmmakers, it’s not just about the acting or the art itself. It’s about how big of an audience watches your film Picture Quote #1

I think when I got drawn to film, I didn’t know it was a business. I mean, like most filmmakers, I probably saw more films than a lot of people when I was a kid. But I watched them on TV as well. I was no purist about it. I spent lots of time in movie theaters, but I also watched a lot of films on TV Picture Quote #1

My hat’s off to documentary filmmakers. I don’t know if I’m ever going back to it. You’re treated like a second-class citizen at most film festivals. You take the bus while everybody else is flown first-class. If you’re a feature film director, you’re put in a five-star hotel, and if you’re a documentary director, you stay in a Motel 6 Picture Quote #1

There is no filmmaking legislation because distributors are not interested in sharing their money with the film industry - for instance, by giving a percentage of ticket sales back to filmmakers Picture Quote #1

France has not only built a bureaucratic barrier against American culture, it has constructed a notorious intellectual case against it as well. The French spend hundreds of millions of dollars subsidizing film production, extend interest-free loans to designated filmmakers, and have placed quotas not only on imports but on television time Picture Quote #1

I think I veered towards filmmaking because there’s more of a sense of control in it. You’re not waiting to be picked. That said, in film school I acted in probably 6,000 student films because no other filmmakers knew anyone who wanted to act. It was all a big beautiful snake eating its tail, progressing along the way Picture Quote #1

I definitely think for up and coming filmmakers, people graduating from film school, people that want to do their own movies, horror movies are a great way to go Picture Quote #1

I can’t impress people with the pedigree of obscure French filmmakers that got me into film. It was Robert Zemeckis and Steven Spielberg. I really thought I wanted to make dumb action movies Picture Quote #1
