“I was concerned about `who am I?' to the audience. So when they (the filmmakers) said, `We'll follow you,' I bit. I insisted on the right to approve the rough cut. So there I was, safe, everything fine,”
Shelley Berman
“I'm making films for an audience out there and a very tiny fraction of them are would-be filmmakers. But let's speak of them-the would-be filmmakers, the tiny fraction. I've witnessed many times when I've showed films and was present at a screening that exactly those people feel very much encouraged by what I'm doing.”
Werner Herzog
“If we as filmmakers do our jobs correctly, the ONLY thing the audiences should notice is the performances. Filmmaking is about capturing the performances given by the actors. That's what audiences are really interested in, and that's what we need to deliver in order to succeed.”
Danica McKellar
“When filmmakers make a movie, they make a movie for the large screen.”
Terrell Falk
“I can't wait to speak with the filmmaker when he comes,”
Amber Benson
“When you start out as a filmmaker, you do parodies, because you can't really compete on a studio level.”
Bill Paxton
“Our most rewarding experiences at Mr. X come when we partner with the filmmakers at the earliest conceptual stage to help design and shape the execution of complex effects sequences. On BROTHERS, we had the opportunity to work closely with the production team to create meticulously accurate pre-visualization for the sequence. Through this we were able to assist the director to choreograph the action, uncover filming challenges, and develop a complete filming solution down to each camera lens and position well before shooting began.”
