A Quote by Jim Coleman

I actually went to film school and was making experimental films for a short time, so it wasn't such a leap.

I made a lot of short films before making a feature film. Actually, I learnt film-making by making short films.

Karthik Subbaraj

When I went to film school about three years ago, the first two years you're required to make a series of short films. I started making films based on short poems.

James Franco

People talk about making art films - experimental films. I can make an art film every day of the week. Nothing to it. What's difficult is to combine a commercial film with art.

Carlo Ponti

But even a kid, directing was something that I did. I made short films in school. I feel like I've been in the best film school in the world.

Alden Ehrenreich

I started making little short films with friends, and then I decided I wanted to get into the school play in high school.

Bill Hader

In India, we always look at feature films as a progression over short films. But, abroad, people make a living making short films. The revenue might not be as much as in feature films, but the return on investment is good.

Karthik Subbaraj

There was a golden era in film-making in Hollywood back in the 1970s, and although there is some great independent film-making in America, it's actually very hard to get independent films made in the United States. It's much more feasible from Europe.

Lenny Abrahamson

When I was little it was a great time for film-making, with stuff like Mike Nichols' 'Silkwood.' The films you see in that pre-secondary-school stage stay with you in a very particular way.

Saffron Burrows

I like to think I'm making films in the film business where movies are making enough numbers for the studios to let me keep working, but you also want those films to have content that makes you proud you made the film. That's not easy, but it's a fun puzzle to figure out.

Wes Craven

Going to school in San Francisco, you're not going to meet as many people that are making films as you would if you went to film school in New York or L.A.

Boots Riley

I was making short films and putting on plays at school. I was also in love with my teacher, so yeah - I was the kid in 'Rushmore.'

Brett Goldstein

I made lots of short films, about nine or ten short films. And then I made a television film called 'This Little Life.'

Sarah Gavron

Free time keeps me going. It's just something that's always been a part of my life. I was originally a painter, and I made films sort of as an extension of that, and then I started to try to make dramatic films because the early films were experimental films.

Gus Van Sant

When I got to high school, they had a morning TV show you could become a part of, and I started making short films for that, most little satirical, laugh-y films about the dean of students being chased by a dinosaur or something like that. And I really just enjoyed it.

Mike Flanagan

I was doing experimental theater and experimental film in San Francisco, and I moved to Los Angeles, and what I got frustrated with was, it seemed like everyone was waiting for something to happen. Obviously, films take a lot of planning, and I wanted something more immediate, and comedy started to become that.

Amy Seimetz

Most people assume because I'm an actor that's all I know about and care about, I'm actually a camera geek and a film geek. I grew up making short films the same time I was acting. For me, it's a motion picture, not a play. I'm just as interested in what the camera department is doing and world building through costume design and production design as I am in acting. I think all good directors do that whether they're an actor or not.
