“I created a show called 'Crash' for Starz, which was their first original drama, and that was not a good experience. I had a great time working with the cast and crew, but it was a young network and an intrusive studio, and to be honest I didn't really enjoy the movie 'Crash.” FirstsShowsYoungEnjoyHonestDramaOriginalsCastsStudiosBeing HonestCrashCrewGreat TimesHad A Great TimeGood Experiences Author:Glen Mazzara
“If you are recording, you are recording. I don't believe there is such a thing as a demo or a temporary vocal. The drama around even sitting in the car and singing into a tape recorder that's as big as your hand - waiting until it's very quiet, doing your thing, and then playing it back and hoping you like it - is the same basic anatomy as when you're in the recording studio, really. Sometimes it's better that way because some of the pressure is off and you can pretend it's throwaway.” IfsWayBelieveSometimesHandsBigsWaitingCarDramaQuietSingingSittingPressureDon't BelieveStudiosTemporaryTapeVocalYou Like ItAnatomyRecordersDemosRecording Studio Author:Tom Waits
“There's very few directors I think in this industry that would pitch to a studio that they wanted to do a multi-layered almost at times existential high action, high drama surreal film that's sort of locked in his mind.

“I think the way WWE Studios is going now - they're going away from action, doing more drama, more comedy - it will open a lot of people's eyes.

“Each form of the acting is different. I think it keeps your mind active. TV, film and theater are different disciplines, as are independent films, opposed to studio films.

“In studio films, everything has to be boxed in, everybody needs to know beforehand - this is comedy, this is sci-fi, this is drama - and what's the point of independent film if you don't get to experiment?” IfsKnowsNeedsFilmComedyDramaIndependentStudiosExperimentsSci FiIndependent Film Author:Famke Janssen
“One of the more problematic aspects of the current state of cinema in Japan is that the movies playing in the theaters are by and large made not by film studios but by broadcasting companies. They're either extensions of popular television dramas or adaptations of manga or anime. Younger Japanese are simply not being exposed to good films. That situation needs to change.” NeedsMadeStatesFilmCompanySituationTelevisionDramaAspectTheaterCurrentsStudiosCinemaJapanExposedExtensionsAdaptationNeed A ChangeBroadcastingGood FilmsAnimeTelevision Drama Author:Hirokazu Koreeda
“For me, something that's been always really important to me, that's also really served me well in hindsight, is doing different things, trying to cross different genres, and dipping my toes into comedy and drama and action here and there. Fortunately, as I've been working, the industry has also changed where you're able to dip your toes into different mediums, where it's not just independent film and studio film, but now you've got TV, and you're able to do all these different things. For me, it's just a matter of continually pushing myself and challenging myself.” TryingWellsImportantDifferentMatterAbleActionFilmChallengesComedyChangedTvsIndustryDramaCrossesIndependentStudiosMediumsGenreDifferent ThingsPushingToesHere And ThereHindsightIndependent FilmDipDifferent GenresChallenging Myself Author:Michelle Monaghan
