I Want To Be Inspiring To Myself,

I Love The Way L A. Leaves You Alone. I Can Go Home, Read All Day, And Nobody Bugs Me.

Well, I Certainly Was Exposed To And Learned To Appreciate The Work Of Great Directors Early On. As A Kid, My Mother Used To Take Me To See Really Interesting Arty Films In Los Angeles.

I Aspire To Be Able To Appreciate And Review A Director Based On Their Accomplishments And Based On Who They Are And What They Bring To The Material, Regardless Of Their Gender.

I Don't Know If You've Ever Seen Some Of The Sidney Lumet Movies, Like Dog Day Afternoon [1975] Or Network [1976]. They're Real Events That Happen In Real Time, And There Are All Of These Different Characters Experiencing The Same Thing In Different Parts Of The Movie ... I Am So Bad At Explaining My Films. But It's In The World Of Finance And The World Of Media, And How They Connect. It Was A Big Undertaking. A Big, Mainstream Movie, Which Stars Julia Roberts And George Clooney. But For Me, It's Really Just A Small Story About Character And People.

I Think An Artist's Responsibility Is More Complex Than People Realize.
