“When you're shooting a low-budget movie you're never just the director: you're also in the catering department, and hair and make-up and a part-time grip.

“Today the average inhabitant of the western hemisphere knows a little of everything. He has the newspaper on his breakfast table and wireless within reach. For the evening there is the film, cards, or a meeting to complete a day spent in the office or factory where nothing that is essential has been learnt. With slight variation this picture of a low cultural average holds good over the entire range from factory-hand of clerk to manager or director. Only the personal will to culture, in whatever field and however pursued raises modern man above this level.” KnowsMenLittlesHas BeensHandsTodayFilmCultureLevelsModernFieldsDirectorsEssentialsOfficeLowsRaisesTablesMeetingsWesternAverageNewspapersCardsEveningManagersRangeBreakfastFactoriesPursuedVariationClerksWirelessModern ManHemisphereWithin Reach Author:Johan Huizinga
“I don't really distinguish between a fictional hero and a real life hero as a basis for any comparison. To me, a hero is a hero. I like making pictures about people who have a personal mission in life or at least in the life of a story who start out with certain low expectations and then over achieve our highest expectations for them. That's the kind of character arc I love dabbling in as a director, as a filmmaker.” PeopleKindRealCharacterStoriesCertainAchieveHeroDirectorsHighestLowsExpectationsBasesMissionsReal LifeFilmmakerComparisonArcsMissions In LifeLow ExpectationsDabblingPersonal Mission Author:Steven Spielberg
“I think the writer's quite low down in the hierarchy really. But the fact that they took the piss out of Nicholas [Hynter] who, besides being the director, is also director of the National Theatre is, I'd have thought, slightly more risky.” ThinkingFactsDirectorsLowsTheatreHierarchy Author:Alan Bennett
“I'm very excited about is that my son Scott is a director and he just finished his first picture. It's called "Lucky 13", it's a low budget picture, it stars Jeremy Dillon, Daryl Hannah and Jami Gertz.” FirstsStarsSonLuckyDirectorsLowsExcitedFinishedBudgetsMy Son Author:Garry Marshall
