memories eye different
Movies, over time, as they do or don't find their audience, or they find a different audience, they change in your memory and in the eyes of those who see it.
amazing canvas created surreal vibrant within work
'Hellraiser' is an amazing world that Clive Barker created, and it is such a beautifully vibrant and surreal world within which to work. It is also not an undaunting canvas. It is a canvas created by an artist.
goes kinds movies rash seen since technical understood until
Ever since 'Star Wars,' there was a rash of how a movie was made. I remember that as a kid. I never really understood how movies were made until that movie, because it was such a technical accomplishment. Since then, you've seen more and more and more, for all different kinds of films, about what goes into the process.

It's fun to present stories that have a character that, really, everybody wants to be.

keys people stories
The key is to work with people who are passionate about storytelling and who have a similar sensibility of the type and nature of the stories that you want to tell.

I love making genre films. It's something I've really been attracted to since I was a kid, mostly because, as a kid, it was forbidden fruit.
years careers stories
I got very lucky to work with Wes Craven, very early on in my career, and continued to work with Wes for almost 19 years. I learned so much from him, and about his sense of story and his sense of horror, and that was great to be a part of.
book stories pockets
I always wanted to tell stories. From the time I had 20 cents or a quarter in my pocket, I could peddle my old Rambler 500 down to the corner store and buy comic books.
jobs i-realized
I realized that there was an actual job of making movies. They weren't created by elves.

I learned so much about the making of Star Wars and that became a real drive for me, right from the time I was 12 or 13.
accomplishment made understood
I never really understood how movies were made, because it was such a technical accomplishment.
