I Would Say L.a. Is More Polite

I Think Directors Can Become Overly Infatuated By Gilt And Gold, And The Word "lavish" And Everything Being Magnificent.

The Thing That Fascinates Me Is That The Way I Came To Film And Television Is Extinct. Then There Were Gatekeepers, It Was Prohibitively Expensive To Make A Film, To Be A Director You Had To Be An Entrepreneur To Raise Money.

The Irony Of A Director Going To Film Festivals Is You Never Get To See Any Of The Films.
