Directors' Quote pt.1

Over time I've written down quotes from directors that I've come across in a interview or book. These quotes inspire and help to keep me focused on my journey as a director/writer and some I just find to be just plain truthful:

'...there's nowhere to hide as a director you are completely exposed when you write and direct a film. It directly reflects you and you have to be willing to accept what that is when it's finished.'
           -Ryan Gosling


'When I put on my directors uniform, so to speak, I'm out of danger. Once I arrive on the set with a galloping fever, but as soon as I looked through the lens it went away. When you're filming you feel like yourself again, a director, without age, outside of time, without infirmities, invulnerable.'
          -Federico Fellini

'To make a film is to improve life.'
          -Francois Truffaut


'Directors don't make pictures, directors make things that your suppose to get an emotional hit off of.
Your suppose to feel something, its behavior, color...'
          -David Fincher

'In the end it became obvious. You (as director) don't make a performance. A director allows a performance. This is very much the case.'
          -David Fincher



...more to come

'Diary' in the making

(on the set of 'Beautiful Women Wake Up Early')

The mindset of a Film Director; the thoughts, the energy, the strength, the perserverance, the courage, the doubts, the faith, the confidence, it takes all this and then some to bring one's vision to life. Beginning with Mr. Bracker's latest tragic drama 'One Last Sun Ray in the Eyes of Joy' he will begin writing a diary about the exciting journey to make his latest passion come to life on screen. He will share the ups and downs, the mountains to overcome and the joys of making this particular movie. And then it will be released on DVD so many can see and especially hear up close and personal a movie makers' journey into total creativity.

The name of the document is entitled, 'The Director's Diary Book 1'. The released date has not been decided.

'One Last Sun Ray in the Eyes of Joy'  is scheduled to be released August 2012.
