Making A Film Is To Make Sure

As A Boy Id Often Spend My Days Biking On Riverbeds And Arroyos And Come Home Exhausted. I Realize Now How Much I Took For Granted Having The Natural World So Close At Hand. It Wasnt Until I Moved Away, First To New York And Then To Los Angeles, That I Realized How Much I Missed The Outdoors.

By And Large, The Making Of Motion Pictures Is All About, 'let's Ratchet It Up.' And I Always Think, 'we Don't Need To Ratchet This Up.' If You Do, Don't Call It 'captain Phillips' Or 'the Maersk Alabama.' Call It Something Else, And Then You Have Carte Blanche To Do Anything, Down To Sea Serpents And Aliens.
