My Advice To Young Filmmakers Is This:

Don't Follow Trends, Start Trends.

Everybody Who Works Under Any System Feels Confined. It Is A Natural Reaction. You Are Confined To A Certain Extent. You Are Confined If You Work In A Bank, If You Paint. You Are Confined, In A Sense, To Your Art - The Enclosure Of Your Mind. Everybody Should Break Out.

If The Audience Gets Everything, If They See The Photography And Notice That It Is Good, Then The Story Goes Out The Window, But If You Become Involved With The Lives Of The Actors And Forget That You Are Seeing Mechanical Devices On A Huge Screen - Forget The Make-believe - This Is The Job Of The Director To Involve The Audience With The Actors.

Things Own You. That's The Trouble With Capitalism. Things Own You. With Communism And Fascism - Ideas Own You. One Idea And You Can't Have Any Other.

A Hunch Is Creativity Trying To Tell You Something.
