Quotes from the show:
“I think it’s an exciting and interesting time for feature filmmakers, but I also think it’s more challenging than it’s ever been.”
“You’ve got to have a reason for being, either in subject or in terms of the filmmaking.”
“I’m a firm believer that cream rises to the top, and I find my way to the things I’m meant to find my way to.”
"[A DIY filmmaker] can survive, and plenty of people do, you just have to change your lifestyle. It depends on what you're willing to get by on."
"Be tough on yourself. Good isn't good enough. It has to be excellent... If you're gonna do it, just go for broke."
