I Never Actually Do Rehearsals. That's One

As A Screenwriter I'm Often Writing In Genres Where There Have Been Thousands Of Movies; Whereas When I Direct Movies They Tend To Be In Between Genres. They Tend To Have A Little Bit Of A Genre To Them, But They're Really About The People, And They're People We Haven't Met Before.

I See Very Small Movies Being Financed By Crowdfunding. If You're A Well-known Actor Or Celebrity Of Some Sort, You Can Probably Raise Between One And Two Million. I Don't Have That Kind Of Cult [following].

I Figured, 'when Is That Ever Going To Happen Again?'. So I Basically Set Out The Opposite Way Movies Are Made; I Set Out With A Budget First. I Said, 'what Can I Do Well For $40,000?'.

Well, Acting Is Cheap; I Knew All These Actors Who Weren't In The Screen Actors Guild Yet, And It Happened That They Were All Just About Thirty Years Old.

The Less Money And Time You Have, The More You Haveto Plan Ahead And Be Careful About Your Coverage. It's Like A Gas:it Expands Or Contracts Depending On The Size Of The Container.
