I Was Making Films When I Was

In Hollywood, You Tend To Get Pigeonholed To Certain Genres, And Then When You Try To Do Something Different, It's Not Always So Easy. Obviously, You Don't Want To Keep Repeating Yourself, All The Time. So, It's A Constant Struggle For Every Filmmaker And Actor To Find Something That You Can Really Feel Passionate About. It's A Profession Like Anything Else.

There Were A Lot Of People Dreaming About Making Films, And They Would Finance Maybe 6 Films A Year. Because They Were Funded By The Government, The Films Sort-of Had To Deal With Serious Social Issues - And, As A Result, Nobody Went To See Those Films.

I Did Some Film Reviews For Small Papers In Finland And Things Like That To Be Able To Keep Living Here.

I Became A Real Shell Motor Oil Expert, And I Did This 25-minute Film. It Turned Out Really Well And, As A Result, They Offered Me More Work And Lots Of Commercials To Direct.
