I read about some movie where they did everything on blue screen, and the actors were not even connecting to each other.

Competition impedes creativity because you present yourself in a way that's going to been seen by somebody outside of you. You're not very much yourself and it limits you.

I like actors who don't have to think too hard about what they have to do to achieve their performance.

All these gadgets, the phone and the computer, they expose the inside of your brain in a way that's bad.

The problem is, with a lot of children's films, they are very commercial.

You don't watch home movie for the technique, you watch because it's reminiscing on good moments you spent with your friends. It reflects you. It belongs to you. So I was thinking people could, instead of spending their money to go and see a blockbuster, make their own movies. Collect the money and make a new one every week. I thought it would be nice to create a world that makes this construct possible.

In a way, putting actors deep into this sort of complicated universe frees them from thinking about who they should be. They just are somebody.
