Film Students Quotes

• Coge una cámara. Filma algo. No importa lo pequeño que sea, ni lo cursi que sea, ni si lo protagonizan tus amigos y tu hermana. Pon tu nombre como director. Ahora eres un director. Todo lo demás es negociar tu presupuesto y tus honorarios.

  James Cameron

• I wanted to be a film student again, as a man in my 60s. To go someplace alone and see what you can cook up, with non-existent budgets. I didn't want to be surrounded by comforts and colleagues, which you have when when you're a big time director. I wanted to write personal works.

• I have somewhat lost my enthusiasm in the last years. Mainly because film students using digital video these days have not really produced anything which is more than superficial or simplistic; so I have my doubts.

• When I first came out, I was a film student and my mom sewed clothes. I was already doing a million things then, whatever it took to survive. If I had to braid someone's hair to get one pound for my lunch money, that's what I did. But I did it in the most creative way possible.

• I like doing commentary. As a filmmaker and film student, I think it's really interesting to hear what a director did and how they figured out how to do things. I often like the technical commentaries myself.

• Film theory has nothing to do with film. Students presumably hope to find out something about film, and all they will find out is an occult and arcane language designed only for the purpose of excluding those who have not mastered it and giving academic rewards to those who have. No one with any literacy, taste or intelligence would want to teach these courses, so the bona fide definition of people teaching them are people who are incapable of teaching anything else.

• I wanted to be in film. I wanted to be a film student, possibly be a director or cinematographer, not an actor. That was my goal. I didn't believe I had the physical beauty that I'd seen projected and advertised in movies, in theater. It just wasn't for me.

• Well, I think every film student goes into film school thinking they want to write and direct their own movies, and they don't realize how much goes into it, and what a process it is.

• Animo a los estudiantes de cine interesados en la cinematografía a que estudien escultura, pintura, música, escritura y otras artes. El cine consiste en todas las artes combinadas. Los estudiantes siempre me piden consejo, y yo les digo que tienen que ser entusiastas, porque es un trabajo duro. La única manera de disfrutarlo es estar totalmente inmerso. Si no te implicas a ese nivel, puede ser un trabajo muy miserable. Sólo lamento una cosa de mi carrera: Lamento que ya no se hagan películas mudas. Es la forma de arte más pura que puedo imaginar.

• Upon its debut, The Room was a spectacular bomb, pulling in all of $1,800 during its initial two-week Los Angeles run. It wasn't until the last weekend of the film's short release that the seeds of its eventual cultural salvation were planted. While passing a movie theater, two young film students named Michael Rousselet and Scott Gairdner noticed a sign on the ticket booth that read: NO REFUNDS. Below the sign was this blurb from a review: “Watching this film is like getting stabbed in the head.” They were sold.
