More often than not, I'm worried about, where shouldn't we have music? Because the tendency is just to put everything everywhere all the time in a lot of movies. You end up just numbing the audience when you do that and it's not the best way to tell a story.
Michael GiacchinoFor me, I always go back to when I was 10 years old and, I think between the time I was 10 and going to high school, were some of the greatest moments for me, because I had a group of friends that I was inseparable with, who we would make movies with all the time.

Michael GiacchinoWhen I was nine, I asked my Dad, โCan I have your movie camera? That old, wind-up 8-millimeter movie camera thatโs in your drawer?โ And he goes, โSure, take it.โ And I took it, and I started making movies with it, and I started being as creative as I could, and never once in my life did my parents ever say, โ What youโre doing is a waste of time.โ Neverโฆ.. I know there are kids out there that donโt have that support system. So, if youโre out there and youโre listening, listen to me: If you wanna be creative, get out there and do it. Itโs not a waste of time.
