moving technology advancement
There are always advancements that are happening with mining technology and the ability to detect gases or methane within the mine. Those things are moving forward every day.
real technology perfect
I feel like throughout history we've heard bullshit from politicians, but now we're at the perfect intersection of technology and entertainment where we can, in real time, produce something that holds people accountable. That's an exciting time to be living in.
mom mother teacher
My mother did an incredible job - one, of just being a great mom, but two, of instilling a tremendous amount of empathy into me as a young man, as a young person. My mom was kind of this collector of people; throughout my childhood, it didn't matter who you were. She was a high school counselor and then a junior high counselor, and she didn't just counsel students, she counseled other teachers and administrators and coaches.
real thinking documentaries
I'm not somebody who comes in with a whole outline, and says, "Here's the movie we're going to make." That's not what a documentary is for me. I think a documentary is about capturing events as they unfold in real time.
gun thinking hands
I think that there are certain guns that, of course, I don't know who needs a machine gun, personally. But I think rifles and things like that are fine. I think that in the wrong hand is when a gun becomes a problem.
giving-up advice filmmaker
The advice I give to every filmmaker is you have to be tenacious. You can't give up.
thinking views perspective
I enjoy telling these stories that I ultimately think get a disservice on a lot of network television. I enjoy getting people to change their perspective. I enjoy pushing myself into learning and understanding things from a very different point of view. It's scary to do that. It's scary to kind of put yourself in somebody else's position.
kind moments breakthrough
When I experience something or feel something, that's kind of transferred to the audience. There's a lot of great breakthrough moments that come out of that.
people understanding fringe
Part of living is understanding where the fringes are. Once you know how far people go, you can say, "Well, here's how I choose to represent myself."
fun looks pedicures
["Mansome"] was one of those projects where it was a great change to do something fun and look at the subject in an engaging way. My next film is not going to be about pedicures.
people matter want
Ultimately, if you want to make movies, you've got to want to make movies every day, when people are paying you to make movies and when they're not, because you're going to get a lot more no's on this business, no matter what it is, than you are going to get yeses.
art impact want
I really want to make art. I want to create something that's going to have a lasting impact.
motivation inspiration risk
When you train your employees to be risk averse, then you're preparing your whole company to be reward challenged.
art the-end-of-the-day want
I'm making entertainment, but I'm making art. This is my art. Hopefully, it's profitable, hopefully it makes money, but at the end of the day I want it to be remembered for its artistic value as well as its entertainment value.
