“Making a film is like making a mixtape. You're collecting all this stuff and putting your favorite stuff into it: you have actors that you like, characters that you're interested in, moments you want to explore, themes you want to deal with, music that you want to put in. It's a pastiche of all these things that deal with how you see the world. You're just trying to make a love letter, a gift.” WorldWantTryingMomentsCharacterFilmActorsStuffDealsLettersThemeCollectingYour FavoriteLove LetterMixtapesPastiche Author:Derek Cianfrance
“There's something so glorious in giving control to the world. I think that's what I'm trying to do in my films-control the world but also let it be chaotic, let there be life.” ThinkingWorldGivingTryingFilmGloriousChaotic Author:Derek Cianfrance
“So I don't think being an artist you can ever satisfy - the moment you do get satisfied is the moment you're done, really. I'm actually starting to bug out now, because it's not enough. I get joy and pleasure in the movies out there in the world that people are seeing, but for me, it's about making it. That's why I do it, is to make it, to deal with my life.” PeopleThinkingWorldDoneEnoughMomentsJoyArtistPleasureBeing An Artist Author:Derek Cianfrance
