#FilmSpeak Ep 119

'There are lots of parts of filmmaking that I don't like. At the end of the day, especially on features, the film turns into a commodity. You have to play this entirely new game I'm very uncomfortable with.' #TaikaWaititi

'As a filmmaker whose first film was made w/the DIY tools of digital cinema, I love how the democratization of the filmmaking process and platforms like YouTube enables people to tell stories that in previous generations simply could not be told.'

'I'm better suited to be a director, i think. I see myself as the general author. I hate the word 'auteur,' because it sounds so solitary when filmmaking is anything but solitary.' #CaryFukunaga

We're more than excited to have Sherill Quinn join our cast as Lauren Hall; a smart, tough, ambitious Marketing Manager looking to rise up the ranks @ ADAPT Technologies. More to come!

I firmly believe the best #filmmakers have the ability to step into other people's shoes...literally. From #actor to #crew , I can step into almost any role for a project. Educating myself about who does what & being familiar enough to learn the basics makes you a valuable asset.
