I'll be vilified if I shoot a film in Toronto for New York. And rightfully so!
I had a great education. From kindergarten to John Dewey High School in Coney Island, I am public-school educated.
The truth is I've been doing Kickstarter before there was Kickstarter; there was no Internet. Social Media was writing letters, making phone calls, beating the bushes.
I'm surprised that Hollywood and networks have not been diverse as other industries.
I think if people looked at my body of work, they'd see a great breadth of work.
People sometimes forget all the films that we've done. They remember the likes of 'Malcolm X' and 'Do the Right Thing.' But I've been working since 1986. From the beginning, I was determined to not just be a flash in the pan. I've got to keep up with Woody Allen. He's lapping me.
