It's been 10 years since you slept on a couch and made sex, lies, and videotape . I have to say I feel pretty fortunate. It's probably easier to get a first film made now, but it's harder to get it released and seen by people. It's very cutthroat now in the independent sector, as cutthroat as it's always been in the studio sector. I look back and think we were really lucky, in terms of timing and where the industry is.
Young filmmakers have a lot of heat today, to meet expectations, both creatively and financially.
We'll see where this next wave will go. As I recall, Robert Redford offered to help you out after sex, lies took Sundance by storm. I didn't have much interaction with him. No, it's just a Hollywood thing. For all I know, I'm on a project somebody else got pushed out of.
