“I like the old school heavy metal bands like AC/DC and Aeromith. I like that type of music. As the director, I tried to influence the type of music the bands in the movie would play.” PlaySchoolInfluenceTypeBandDirectorsHeavyMetalsOld SchoolHeavy MetalMetal Band Author:Dolph Lundgren
“In college, unable to be "special" - or in demand - as a girl, I made myself useful, even essential, in my microcosm - as a writer and photographer for the band, particularly for the band director. My "specialness" was to produce something of value, not to look like something (with that different kind of "value"), so I was still fundamentally invisible, but had a significant purpose.” LooksKindMadeStillsDifferentPurposeValuesGirlSpecialProduceCollegeBandDirectorsDemandEssentialsPhotographerSignificantInvisibleDifferent KindsLike SomethingMicrocosmSpecialness Author:Cris Mazza
“As you get older - for example, in our band we have members of our orchestra, like Carlos Enriquez and Ali Jackson and Walter Blanning. I taught them when they were in high school, and now they teach me.I'll regularly call Ali and say, "Man, can you break this rhythm down for me?" Or Carlos was actually our music director in Cuba, and he's been instrumental in a lot of my education, and I started to develop a saying with them, because they tease me all the time - you get older, you have that familiar relationship - I say, "You have to follow your young leadership, too."” MenSchoolYoungTeachBreakExampleTaughtBandDirectorsMembersHigh SchoolFamiliarRhythmOrchestraCubaTeaseTease Me Author:Wynton Marsalis
“There's not one way to direct a film, there are so many different ways to do it. Everything affects the way it turns out in the end. Even the smallest things. You don't want to really acknowledge that, because you want to believe that you are the only creative asset as a director. You want to believe you're the only one. But I really feel that everyone teams up and everybody really affects everything. Actually, it's the closest I will get to playing in a band.” WayWantFeelsBelieveDifferentEndsFilmTurnsCreativeTeamBandDirectorsDirectOne WayAcknowledgeDifferent WaysAssetsClosestSmallest Author:Lukas Moodysson
