I really admire Werner Herzog and Spike Lee. They're amazing documentarians. If you took away all the narratives, they'd just be amazing documentarians.
Filmmakers now have the freedom to create the type of movie they want. More screenwriters, directors, and producers now have the chance to see their words on screen now that VOD and streaming outlets are available. Overall, it's a good thing for filmmaking and documentarians.
I think filmmakers, in general... There are some awesome, really great filmmakers - but on the whole, filmmakers, actors, I think they are the biggest bunch of whiny, over-paid babies on the planet.
The filmmakers are very much in their own kind of bubble. It was kind of a revelation to me and I realized why so many of the great filmmakers are one of a kind people. You know, they have a vision. They may be influenced by other filmmakers, but they don't work with them on anything.
Filmmakers are always in a bubble; along with our crew or writer, we don't really get to socialize with other filmmakers, so the great thing about Sundance is you can see many other filmmakers doing the same thing you do.
The economy is rough. I think that affects everyone from big filmmakers to tiny filmmakers.
I'm influenced by a lot of filmmakers; I like English filmmakers because I feel a kin to them.
The Danish filmmakers are a unique breed of filmmakers, with the Dogme films and Lars von Trier.
N.W.A. were the first great rap audio documentarians of the problems in our inner cities.
I always say that AMC hires filmmakers, and they let them be filmmakers.
'Hunger' definitely changed my life, in terms of being recognized by filmmakers, since that was very much a filmmakers' film.
I know many filmmakers, and shooting in IMAX is challenging. Filmmakers love the vividness and power of those big images.
I think independent filmmakers, documentary filmmakers - they are journalists.
I love mentoring young filmmakers and girl filmmakers.
You go to the movies to be transported. That's the responsibility of filmmakers and the people that hire the filmmakers - to try and find new dreams we can all share together.
To pretend like Hollywood is anything other than that is disingenuous. #OscarsSoWhite is trendy, but for women filmmakers and filmmakers of color, it's not a trend. This is our reality, and it's important that we do something to change it.
