I think not many young people are willing to pay the price of telling their own story.

Tarantino is a spoiled little white kid. He can do any movie he wants and nobody can do anything about it.

I think once you have films in certain festivals you begin to have name recognition, and there are possibilities.

I'm organizing documentary films, and whenever scriptwriting gets too tedious I go to my editing room and start to edit the documentary, even if I don't have the full funding yet. So you have to keep yourself busy, you have to like the subject matter.

For any movement to emerge, it has to be innovatively independent from the mainstream cinema, and I don't see that much.

Most, especially the young filmmakers, do not see strength in communal or collective existence. They just think they're going to conquer the world as individuals. There is no world like that. In cinema it's always, even in Hollywood, a collective surge.

Success is really when you create a space, a piece of art, and people come in and say, that's my story - when they claim it.
