I Was Not Aware Of How Much

I Love That Process In Which There Is No Safety Net. Then The Actor Also Can Allow Mistakes, Because There's No Such A Thing As A Mistake. You're Working With Good Actors, That Thing That Starts As A Mistake Becomes Actually The Life Of What Is Going To Follow In The Scene. I Find That It Is Fantastic, And For Me It Is Easier Than For The Actors.

I Think It's Always Important To Give Immediate Positive Reinforcement.

As A Director, You're Only As Good As Your Collaborators. You Surround With Collaborators That Are Going To Understand What You're Trying To Do. Not Only That, They're Going To Push And Fight For What You're Trying To Do.

The Long Takes Process Doesn't Allow For That Many Takes. In The Past I Have Shot Over 50 Takes Of Different Shots. Sometimes You End Up Using Take 64, Sometimes Take Four.

I Was Not Aware Of How Much I Loved 'canoa' Until I Saw It After Doing 'y Tu Mama Tambien' And Realized That My Voice - Over About The Story's Historical Context - That Narrator - Came From 'canoa'.
