I was lucky enough to travel extensively as a child, to places which, at the time were considered nearly taboo: the USSR in 1972, West Africa in 1974, and the People’s Republic of China in 1978, to name a few. The experience gave me an opportunity to encounter other places and people in a way that was non-judgmental. I kept copious diaries of our t...
The book was the greatest source of information, as it was written by someone who had lived through the events presented in the story. In truth, while the book was published as a novel, it is in fact a thinly veiled autobiography.
For me, the films that leave the greatest impression are ones in which morality is not portrayed as black and white, but gray. The European films of the 60’s, and the American films of the 70’s all did this in the most remarkable ways, and my sentimental education as a filmmaker comes largely from the films of that era.
The Conformist, Gallipoli, Chinatown, The Year of Living Dangerously, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, The Conversation, A Touch of Evil, 21 Grams and Days of Heaven.
I wrote the first draft in 6 or 7 weeks. After that it was another 3 or 4 before we had a draft we felt we could send to cast.
I like to treat writing as a discipline rather than an “art.” I start my day at the gym or on a hike with my dog, and then find myself back at the computer by 10 a.m. I’ll write until the early evening, and generally avoid lunch meetings, which can take a toll on my writing rhythm. I need the big, uninterrupted chunks of time to do my best work.
Finding the architecture for the story is always the most difficult part of the process for me. Making sure the story is structurally sound, and that the structure is best serving the content is the greatest challenge. That said, characterization and authenticity are the most important elements of a good story. Structure is nothing if it doesn’t se...
There is a question I ask myself before sitting down to write any film, and it is this: “Does this story need to be a film?” There are all kinds of stories in the world. Some are suited to the written word, others to stage, and still others to cinema. The tools and strengths of each medium are different. But cinema demands such a cost — financial, ...
If you do not have a burning need to say something, then don’t say it. Writing comes from that need. And voice — that thing which defines every writer, but which, to my mind, cannot be taught — is the expression of that need. Stay true to that voice, and a writer will emerge.
Making a film like this is a risk. It’s a film that wants to have been done in Farsi — in the language of the culture in which the events occurred. But the realities of the market place are such that no film of this kind could have ever been made in its native language because there are no Farsi speaking actors who are known enough around the world...
