“If you look at the films that I've done generally, you would probably get an idea of what I'm most interested in, and if ever I do something unusual like a science fiction film or an action film or a comedy or something, then that to me feels like a step to the side to do something different.” IfsFeelsLooksIdeasDifferentDoneActionFilmSidesFictionStepsComedyScience FictionUnusualAction Films Author:Guy Pearce
“Hollywood seems to succumb to fads. Well, action films do well. Give me violence. Give me a scene where there's a couple of car chases or shooting and stuff like that.

“Screenwriting involves an often un-personal process. Co-writers, directors, producers, everyone has a say in what you put on a page, and stories are constantly changing according to budget, actors, and commercial needs. Films are a collaborative process and are also inherently narrative and structured, so you are always working within very tight parameters. Short fiction unleashes a more intimate voice and a passion for language. I believe short narratives can have the same amount of danger and drama as any action film.” NeedsBelieveStoriesActionFilmPassionActorsLanguageI BelieveProcessVoiceFictionDangerAmountDramaDirectorsPagesProducersNarrativeBudgetsIntimateScreenwritingParametersAction FilmsAlways Working Author:Chiara Barzini
