A. Yes. Q. And where did they go? A. To the end of the project. And I wanted them to do that. Q. And they decided on the end of the project? A. Absolutely. Absolutely. They’re both incredible. Q. When were you last consulted by them, or did you get a phone call? A. I […]
Some filmmakers aren’t even sure. To many of them, it doesn’t matter. “I don’t have any degree as I am not a master of photography,” filmmaker and director, Sanket Kumar told me over the phone after doing some research on the Internet. I asked him, to my surprise, if he would be interested in the […]
There’s all sorts of things that could make a script worse than it already is, from bad dialogue writing to bad editing to bad acting or even a really bad director. There are lots of things that go into the whole making of a movie and it all boils down to three factors: the scriptwriter, […]
You do not want to think about film journalism when getting yourself into these programs. This is one of those things that if you get into a program based on getting an “in” in that area then chances are that the best you can hope for is an “in.” The degree is not actually important […]
I don’t know, probably Sony [parent company]. Do you know what’s good? The thing about this movie is all these different characters. When they first meet, it’s like, ‘Oh, that’s Tom Hanks, that’s Chris Tucker. That’s Paul Rudd. That’s this guy,’ and the next thing you know, ‘Oh, that’s this guy.’ And it’s fun. I’ve […]
