Ask the Filmmaker: The Ecstasy and the Agony

Dear Filmmaker,

D.C.

Hi D.C.

Thanks for the question. I’m a bad news first kind of guy, so let’s start with what I enjoy the least. Raising money. And not surprisingly, I’m no good at it. I really wish making films didn’t cost so much. Make no mistake, it’s a lot less expensive than it was, but it’s still expensive.

What do I like the most? The people. No question. I get to speak to and work with amazing people. The people in front of the camera have been so generous with their time, a joy to film, and a pleasure to interview. The people behind the camera have been inspiring and generous beyond words.

Thanks for asking.

Do you have a question for the filmmaker? Just leave a comment and I’ll answer it. It doesn’t have to be about this film, or any film, really. I’ll answer anything. In fact, one person even asked me “where do babies come from?” And I did answer.
