A Good Movie Humanizes People.

It Is Quite Rare To Find People Who Are Really Dedicated To A Level Of Excellence. Most Of Us Are Really Quite Lazy Most Of The Time.

The Woodstock Film Festival Is Among The Finest Of A Dying Breed: A Festival That Isn’t Trying To Sell You Anything, But Simply And Beautifully Celebrating The Art & Craft Of Filmmaking.

I Started Acting When I Was 13 Years Old And I Feel Like I Really Admire Actors Who Are These Kind Of Amazing Shape-changing People, That They Almost Can Turn Themselves Into Other People.

What I Learned About Acting, From My Experiences Directing, Is Why So Many Producers And Directors Don't Like Actors. You Go Through All Of This Work Securing A Location, Figuring Out How To Get Electricity There, How To Get Trucks Parked Where They Need To Be, And Where Catering Is Going To Come From. And If The Actors Don't Come Up With Some Magic, It Actually Didn't Matter. That Creates A Lot Of Animosity Towards The Actors.

I Don't Have A Lot Of Experiences Like This Where Every Time I Thought I Had A Good Idea It Was Totally Wrong. I Had To Give In Completely And Just Try To Make The Movie Alejandro Amenábar Was Trying To Make.
