Sometimes, The People Who Are Helping You

I'd Come Into Filmmaking As A Painter So, For Me, Making 'good Will Hunting' Was Experimental Because I Didn't Know How To Do It.

There's A Lot Of Films That Have Relatively Rigid Road Maps Because They Have A Script And Others That Are Less Rigid Because They Have Less Of A Script, Like 'elephant.' The Road Map Becomes More Interpretive, Maybe, Than One With A Detailed Script. Editing-wise, They All Have Their Problems.

Once You're Directing, You're Kind Of In A Certain Mode, Where You're Taking Whatever Is On The Page And Forming It Into The Film That You Think It Might Want To Be. So Whether It's My Writing Or Not, I Still Try To Work With It In The Same Way.
