A lot of people have said it to me 'You made me cry.' And it was only because I cried myself when I watched the movie.
Michael GiacchinoThe core of the film is usually something very emotional and something that feels really real that you can relate to, it's not like done in a false way. You know a lot of films will treat emotion falsely and you can sense that very quickly.
Michael GiacchinoWhen you present something that you have worked on to somebody else, for some reason that is the moment when you can see everything that you have done wrong. They may or may not agree, but it is more of a personal thing for me. It is that I am looking at it because you are self conscious and suddenly there is someone in the room that is seeing it for the first 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.
