“All you do as a performer is keep doing it. If you keep doing it, then it depends on why you're doing it. If you're doing something for superficial, monumental reasons and if you're doing it for female attention, or if you're doing it for money, it's like being upset. Only way you can get upset is when you expecting something. If you don't get this award or don't get that award, that because you expect something.” IfsWayReasonAttentionDependsFemaleUpsetAwardsPerformersExpectingSuperficialExpecting Something Author:Bernie Mac
“Sadly most films only get exposure if they win an award or were in a festival, which is really difficult because those things cost money! Submitting your film to a festival or campaigning for an Oscar or a Golden Globe is very expensive. Most people don't know that, but all those events require a lot of money. If you have a small independent film, it's very hard to get the attention of people in those circles.” PeopleIfsKnowsHardFilmWinningDifficultAttentionEventsCostIndependentCirclesGoldenExpensiveAwardsLots Of MoneyGlobesOscarsExposureFestivalsIndependent FilmCampaigning Author:Kate del Castillo
