“You find that a lot of people who write about film, now, which is really surprising to me, have no idea about the technical aspects of films or how they’re even made. Even small low budget ones, which are pretty easy to find someone making something like that and go on the set and just see what it feels like, what the rhythms are like how the actors work. Obviously, it’s different from filmmaker to filmmaker and actor to actor, there are no universal truths with it, but do some of that gives you such a greater understanding of how it all works. And I think, also, filmmakers should be watching lots of movies, should be writing about lots of movies. To me, they’re all different sides of the same coin and they all feed into one another.”
