“I feel like, if I'm being honest with myself, my biggest skill set is as a writer 'cause I can do that quickly and I'm really grounded in story structure. Part of my success as an actor, is that I know story well. Part of my success as a director, is how well I know story. Same thing, as a producer. It all begins and ends with me as a story creator. But, I love doing it all.” IfsKnowsFeelsWellsI CanEndsStoriesActorsCausesCan DoHonestDirectorsSkillsStructureCreatorProducersBeing HonestGrounded Author:Mark Duplass

“If a director says he doesn't care how many people see his films at all, I simply don't believe him. Otherwise why would he bother to make the film? The only explanation would be that it would be an act of masturbation. I think that every creator is looking for a receptor. He's looking for an audience.

It's the same thing for a painter who wants his paintings to be seen.” PeopleIfsThinkingWantBelieveTwoWould BeCareFilmAudiencePaintingDirectorsDon't BelieveCreatorPainterBotherExplanationWorking ItEquationsMasturbationReceiverHe Doesn't Care Author:Michael Haneke
“What is an artistic picture? An artistic picture is very simple. The creator is not the producer. The creator is not the star. The creator is the director, the person who realizes the picture, like a poet, like an artist. The creator of the picture is free to do whatever he wants, how he wants to do it. That is an artistic picture.” WantPersonsArtistStarsRealizingSimplePoetDirectorsCreatorProducersArtistic Author:Alejandro Jodorowsky
“The network was fantastic, but you get a lot of anxiety with any production. It was very helpful to have both of us because we could back each other up. As a creator, a director and a filmmaker, you often get assaulted and you lose perspective because you have all of this pressure. It was so nice to call him and say, "What do you think?"” ThinkingLosesNicePerspectiveDirectorsAnxietyPressureProductionsCreatorFantasticFilmmakerHelpful Author:Tony Goldwyn
