“Ensor sees with his imagination, but his vision is perfectly accurate, of an almost geometric precision. He is one of the very few who can really see. Like you, he has an obsession with masks; he is a seer as you and I are. The common herd, of course thinks that he is mad.*****************You shall see what sort of man Ensor is, and what a marvellous insight he has into the invisible realm where our vices are created... those vices for which our faces make masks.” ThinkingMenFacesCoursesImaginationCommonVisionLike YouMadVicesInsightInvisibleObsessionRealmsMaskAccurateHerdsPrecisionMarvellousSeersGeometric Book:Monsieur de Phocas Source: Monsieur de Phocas
“It's not racism per se but the tyranny of normalcy - no: the tyranny of attractive normalcy. Which leads to loveable white models who are supposed to be playing ordinary, adorably flawed professionals just like you and me with their brilliant minority friends (with vastly less camera time) who are surgeons. But it's not just ethnicity. That narrow vision also extends to, say, things like women leads. Women leads have to be good-hearted and nice, with a Slutty Best Friend. The main character can't be slutty.

And the audience can tell immediately.” ThinkingWantFeelsDecisionVisionAudienceProductsLike YouCreatingWorking ItPhony Author:Rob Zombie
“I just feel like it's so amazing every few years when I'm not making a film to act and basically go back to film school and just watch other filmmakers work and try to be a part of somebody else's vision. So I feel like you do use two very different parts of your brain, and it's great to be able to jump back and forth.” FeelsTryingYearsTwoDifferentUseAbleSchoolFilmBrainVisionWatchesLike YouFilmmakerBack And ForthFilm School Author:Sarah Polley
“The day you shoot something, everything changes. You still have the same overall vision and approach. You create a world that you're going to be true to or the film tells you what you're going to do. And so, it's like you've got a philosophy of what you're doing. You try and have that changing texturally over the movie.” WorldTryingStillsPhilosophyFilmVisionLike YouApproachBeing TrueThings ChangeDoing You Author:Fred Schepisi
