It didn't get into Sundance although I showed a rough cut which is a mistake to all filmmakers out there.
Donal Logue

It's a funny thing because you look at the careers of other filmmakers, and you see them sort of slow down, and you realize, maybe this becomes harder to do as you get older. That's sort of a cautionary thing. I hope it doesn't happen to me.
Joel Coen

It's more like can I build a group of characters and can I tell some universal truths that feel real and aren't formulaic in the spirit of filmmakers gone by who've told American stories that were personal and universal as well.
Cameron Crowe

It's up to the courage of the filmmakers to make art in cinema, not just business. John was rejected by studios, he borrowed money and did movies with his own money. You're either courageous or not. You have to find a way.
Ben Gazzara

Just in the past few years - since I've been making movies, which isn't a very long time - you now have a culture that is fascinated and informed about the box office in a way that sometimes filmmakers weren't even.
Neil LaBute

Many filmmakers pretend that they never see anything, which has always seemed odd to me.
Jacques Rivette

Most independent filmmakers in Britain and North America work for commercial crews and then have their own projects when they've got enough money saved up to do so.
Ann Macbeth

My favorite laser disk ever was the laser disk for The Graduate, which had a commentary track that wasn't even the filmmakers, it was a professor, some film criticism guy who just happen to be this amazing commentator who went off into the whole theory of comedy.
Jay Roach

One of the most interesting aspects of the film project was collaborating with so many people - directors, filmmakers, and writers - over a five-year period. I learned that there are two components to this.
Yo-Yo Ma

Perhaps it sounds ridiculous, but the best thing that young filmmakers should do is to get hold of a camera and some film and make a movie of any kind at all.
Stanley Kubrick

Showtime has given new, young filmmakers - black, white, across the board - an opportunity to make films, as well as actors who want to cross over into directing.
Morris Chestnut

The filmmakers always have a great level of control.
John Milius

The filmmakers who I'm pining to work for aren't ringing my phone off the hook.
Sean Astin

The more unique your film is and unusual it is and difficult it is, the harder it is to get it financed. That's why a lot of good filmmakers are doing television. They do HBO movies.
David Cronenberg

There is no filmmaking legislation because distributors are not interested in sharing their money with the film industry - for instance, by giving a percentage of ticket sales back to filmmakers.
Andrzej Wajda

There's a lot of Latinos right now, a lot of filmmakers and writers that are Latin too.
Benicio Del Toro

There's a tremendous intellectual fervor among independent filmmakers, and that has to be cultivated.
Dan Glickman

There's so many things I want to do. I want to work with great filmmakers, great actors, great scripts. And there's no reason for me to do anything short of that, because I'm 24, I don't have a family, I don't need to make tons of money, and I'm not dying to get famous.
Tobey Maguire

This generation of filmmakers is very good. They're seasoned, for some reason.
Dennis Farina

Thrillers are an enormous amount of fun for filmmakers.
John McTiernan
