“I'm imagining there's a particular audience out there that's younger and older, too. It works on two levels. Do they exist? I don't know. I had to make it to find out if it does. When you do something this experimental, that's part of the process and part of the risk. I only spent my own money, so that I'm the only person that gets hurt, if it fails.” IfsKnowsPersonsDoeTwoProcessHurtMy OwnLevelsAudienceFailingRiskParticular Author:Joseph M. Kahn
“If you really like a movie these days, you don't watch it once, especially if you're a kid, because you have a different relationship with media. You expect that to be on your hard drive, and it will look just as good, any time you watch it. It's not like VHS, where you watched it a certain amount of times and it started fading away.” IfsLooksDifferentHardKidsCertainWatchesMediaAmountThese DaysFadingFading AwayDifferent Relationships Author:Joseph M.

“If you look at Cinderhella, from a production design aspect, I tried to find an interesting, iconic character, having her face wrapped up in bandages. That was funny. On the dream logic level, you'll see the parallels of that interesting connection that I made. There's a reason why she's called Cinderhella.” IfsLooksMadeReasonCharacterDreamFacesInterestingLevelsDesignAspectConnectionsLogicProductionsReason WhyParallelsIconicBandagesProduction Design Author:Joseph M.

“I'm not interested in the director's commentary stuff. I think that stuff is really boring. And, if the director explains too much, it takes a certain mystery away from the interpretation that is very important for the audience to have. The audience should have their own interpretation.” IfsThinkingShouldImportantCertainStuffAudienceToo MuchMysteryDirectorsShould HaveBoringInterpretationNot InterestedCommentary Author:Joseph M. Kahn
“The filmmaker should make it, and then the critic should interpret it, period. If the director goes in there and starts telling you exactly what to think, you have just completely slapped the audience in the face and not given them the opportunity to interest it, and that's terrible.” IfsThinkingShouldFacesOpportunityGivenInterestAudiencePeriodsTerribleDirectorsCriticsFilmmaker Author:Joseph M.
