What I’ve Learned as a Moviemaker
|
| Tom Cruise in Vanilla Sky |
On Originality
When you get a brilliant idea that sounds familiar, think of a new idea.
On Silly Ideas
The silliest ideas are sometimes good ideas.
On the Importance of Execution
The simplest ideas are usually the best ideas. It's the execution that's a bitch.
On Choosing Projects
Someone's last film shouldn't be the main reason you want to work on their next one.
On Respecting Vision
When working on someone else's film, work on it, not your own personal version of it.
On Decision-making
Never be afraid to walk away from a bad deal.
On the Financial Side of Moviemaking
If you can afford it, never work only for money. And always try to work on films you would pay money to see.
On Having Pride in Your Project
Good work is what's important; everything else falls into place once it happens.

Jaman Launches “Movie Channel for the World”
Jaman.com announced the availability of instantly streamed, HD-quality movies—for free.
With nothing more than a simple click, cineastes can watch one of 100 ad-supported titles from the online distributor's collection of more than 3,000 films at no cost. Alternatively, those viewers who are less inclined to "pay" for the free films by watching the ads can pay just $1.99 to watch them commercial-dree. “By offering a free streaming media service along with our current rental and ownership download options, we are anticipating the future of digital cinema," says Jaman founder and CEO, Gaurav Dhillon. "With streaming, we provide our community with a quality viewing experience that is free and for our advertisers, we deliver a unique audience and premium and targeted placement opportunities.”
