Kentucker Audley
“The idea that these films are insular is an interesting question. I feel most comfortable scrutinizing my own subculture. I struggle with how to use the same personal approach on a wider swath of society. I worry about not giving a full picture or not having the same blessing to "go anywhere."”
Frederick Wiseman
“There are lots of different ways to make film. I don’t believe there has to be any orthodox way to making movies, or any rules. It’s what works for the filmmaker, and, theoretically, the audience.”
Hirokazu Kore-eda
“I wanted to create a big lie, meaning the opposite of the documentary-style, naturalist, contemporary films I've been doing.... So far I've tried to use naturalism to search for reality, but now I will try total fiction to search for that reality. ”
