A government institution called the Finnish Film Foundation funds filmmaking there, and I wrote several screenplays but never got any money. They were sent back to me, and they said that they were too commercial for them.
Renny Harlin
A novelty in Polish filmmaking was that it was possible to find funds for a big production. However, at the same time, the state budget committed less and less money to filmmaking.
Andrzej Wajda
As far as the filmmaking process is concerned, stars are essentially worthless - and absolutely essential.
William Goldman
But I don't have such a strong desire to need to get away from filmmaking.
Mike Figgis
But I love filmmaking - I'm not ashamed of that. You're sort of vilified if you say that in England.
Minnie Driver
Documentaries have always inspired me in narrative filmmaking.
Griffin Dunne
Everything about filmmaking tries to distract you from that first fine rapturous vision you have of the film.
Ted Kotcheff
Filmmaking can be a fine art.
Terri Windling
Filmmaking is a chance to live many lifetimes.
Robert Altman
Filmmaking is such a collaborative medium.
Daryl Hannah
Find your own specific voice in filmmaking and go for it. Either people will get it or they won't and that's what it's all about.
Yahoo Serious
For me, the filmmaking has to be about the dramaturgy.
Neil Jordan
Hollywood is still the mecca for good or bad, but it isn't the beginning or end for filmmaking.
Robert Duvall
Howard Hughes was this visionary who was obsessed with speed and flying like a god... I loved his idea of what filmmaking was.
Martin Scorsese
However, that old mode of Polish filmmaking virtually disappeared.
Andrzej Wajda
I am much more involved in the filmmaking experience on Mag Seven. I'm much more involved in story elements, casting decisions, the writing of the show, the blocking of the scenes.
Michael Biehn
I considered going to film school; I took a course in film and was very interested in filmmaking as well as film writing.
Robert Morgan
I even agree with the new digital ways of filmmaking, where you don't even have physical film in the camera, but to be honest, I wouldn't want to use it.
J. Lee Thompson
I have been a director who has starred, participated on both sides of the filmmaking process.
Keenen Ivory Wayans
I love filmmaking, and I love the process. And I would rather do nothing else. It's a privilege to be able to paint such big pictures, so to speak.
Bryan Singer
I love independent filmmaking. I don't agree with a lot of it, but that's the point.
Gena Rowlands
I prefer the smaller budget versus the bigger budget because the mentality that goes along with big budget filmmaking doesn't really suit me; the mind-set that money is the answer.
Keenen Ivory Wayans
I really took filmmaking very seriously... It was an honor and then a crutch also, because at a young age, I was like, I guess I'm a serious filmmaker. I never set out to be a serious filmmaker. I just set out to make movies.
John Singleton
I think if you look at Sam Raimi and Jim Cameron, those guys know things about filmmaking that almost nobody knows anymore. They are students of film from when they handmade films themselves, you know cut films with their own hands and razor blades and tape.
Dileep Rao
I was really disappointed that Warner Bros. didn't think highly enough of my film or my filmmaking to ask me to make the new Superman.
Richard Donner
I'm Godless. I've had to make my God, and my God is narrative filmmaking.
Darren Aronofsky
I'm not under too much of an illusion of how smart or un-smart I am because filmmaking ultimately is about teamwork.
Guy Ritchie
I've always wanted to introduce hip-hop filmmaking to film. There's hip-hop art, dance, music, but there really isn't hip-hop film. So I was trying to do that.
Darren Aronofsky
I've had really great experiences working with first-time directors. They come at filmmaking with fresh ideas. I've been very lucky that way.
Jeff Bridges
In Europe, there is no television filmmaking legislation that could assist film production because private broadcasters are not interested in supporting Polish film.
Andrzej Wajda
It takes great skill to tell a compelling story in under 60 seconds. These five directors have mastered the format, using their talent, craft and imagination to provide us with some of the most innovative filmmaking out there today.
Michael Apted
It's only been a couple of times in my life that I've really locked horns with actors. It did not hurt the films, it just hurt the moment of the filmmaking.
Richard Donner
It's very much like filmmaking always is-you're always asked to do something that you're not sure you know how to do. So you make an educated guess as to what you think will work and you hope between that and plan B, that you can end up with a product that's really good.
John Dykstra
Nobody will ever notice that. Filmmaking is not about the tiny details. It's about the big picture.
Ed Wood
Saturday Night Live is such a comedy boot camp in a way, because you get to work with so many different people who come in to host the show and you get thrown into so many situations and learn how to think on your feet, so filmmaking actually feels slow, in a good way.
Will Ferrell
Some men don't gel when it comes to work - you have different work ethics, different opinions, different points of views, different methods of filmmaking - and we didn't gel.
Antoine Fuqua
Sure, they were simple desk lamps with only a minimal amount of movement, but you could immediately tell that Luxo Jr. was a baby, and that the big one was his mother. In that short little film, computer animation went from a novelty to a serious tool for filmmaking.
John Lasseter
That's easy to answer: I never had any special appetite for filmmaking, but you have to make a living and it is miraculous to earn a living working in film.
Alain Resnais
The actual process of filmmaking, the many hours out of your life- it is very slow and boring. I'm not interested in that now unless an opportunity was provided for me.
Rick Moranis
The big studio era is from the coming of sound until 1950, until I came in... I came in at a crux in film, which was the end of the studio era and the rise of filmmaking.
Charlton Heston
The difficulty with the present state of affairs is that there is no legislation on the sources of funding for the Polish film industry. There is no legislation concerning filmmaking. And, there is no legislation on television that would be beneficial to filmmaking.
Andrzej Wajda
The filmmaking process is a very personal one to me, I mean it really is a personal kind of communication. It's not as though its a study of fear or any of that stuff.
David Cronenberg
The horror genre is important because it promotes experimentation in filmmaking.
Richard King
The idea of working with Steven Spielberg was very attractive. He's such a master. He knows the language of the camera and of filmmaking, which gives him a great freedom.
Max von Sydow
The mecca of filmmaking in the world just so happens to be in America. It's quite simply a case of us just going where the work is.
Alex O'Loughlin
The moral of filmmaking in Britain is that you will be screwed by the weather.
Hugh Grant
The process of filmmaking is very musical, you get into the rhythm and the rhythmics of how someone is, especially with Woody Allen who is very much into body language and body movement.
Charlotte Rampling
The test audience holds a great deal of power in the process of filmmaking in the United States.
Brendan Fraser
There is a lot of interest in the arts, music, theatre, filmmaking, engineering, architecture and software design. I think we have now transitioned the modern-day version of the entrepreneur into the creative economy.
John Baldacci
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 such good people out there where there filmmaking world is alive.
Josh Lucas
This was truly guerilla filmmaking. We shot out in the middle of nowhere in a place called Delta Flats, where basically every day was some new minor catastrophe.
Jeri Ryan
We don't have a lot of class-conscious filmmaking.
Roger Ebert
When I got to filmmaking, the most democratic of environments where anybody could say anything, those were the best environments, but what you don't want to assume is that you know what the audience is thinking.
Rick Moranis
Woody is so musical in his filmmaking. I've never worked with anyone I've trusted so completely. He won't let you hit a false note.
Dianne Wiest
You get a different kick out of all aspects of filmmaking.
Guy Ritchie
You have to edit the material. That assumes that some kind of a mind is operating in relation to the material. Not all minds are the same. Every aspect of filmmaking requires choice. The selection of the subject, the shooting, editing and length are all aspects of choice.
Frederick Wiseman
