Things I’ve Learned as a Moviemaker

Julia Stiles and Ethan Hawke

Respect the director-cinematographer collaboration

I am very respectful of the relationship between the director and the DP. I have never inserted myself into the discussion of the look of the film, but I have, of course, requested specific shots.

Every film is a challenge

Every film is a challenge, and I learn something unique from it. Whether it is some technical innovation, directional vision or political situation. The wonderful thing about having experience is that you have confronted so many challenges.

It’s Official—Pre-production Begins

“I never ask people for permission to make a film. Instead, I present them with the fact that I’m making a film. If they’re wise, they’ll get in on it early.”
—Francis Ford Coppola


Last week our unit production manager for Rufus Rex officially started work and I paid UPS an astounding amount of money to deliver a letter to the Republic of Georgia officially inviting our lead actress to the United States. We’re also officially in pre-production on the grassroots (my preferred term, since I dislike “microbudget”—no art should be defined by its budget) movie Rufus Rex, which my 15-year-old son, Nick, and I wrote together last winter.
