Yeah. 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:10.800 No, it wasn't fifteen. It was thirteen. I think ten 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:14.040 until I ask her, and then two years later it's 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:14.679 really yeah. 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:18.080 I think I did it for like five years and 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:21.120 then asked, and then I got married a couple months later. 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.640 I was like, yeah, well, I think once I asked, 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:24.680 I was gonna do it. Yeah. 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.600 Yeah. We were in LA so it was more complicated 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:29.240 to organize the marriage in Italy. 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:30.760 I got married in Italy as well. 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:32.079 Okay was it one door? 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:32.480 No? 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:36.080 Okay, a little more. Yeah, but your wife is not Italian. 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:37.679 She doesn't have all the tricks. 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:41.920 She is no zero tricks. My wife has zero tricks. 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:44.960 Do you spell any movie magic? And talk to me 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:47.600 about how impossible it is to get a movie made. 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:50.400 It's like a puzzle, you know, it's moving pieces. You 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:53.560 need to have the good script, the good actors, and 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:57.040 people that wants to invest a couple of millions or more. 0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.400 You know, it's like playing at the casino. You never 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:01.120 know how it's going to turn out. 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:02.240 Are you a gambler? 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:06.480 I just directed a movie about poker, so a little bit. 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:09.480 Yeah, do you play poker? I do do you like it. 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:12.720 My big problem is that I like to play more 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:17.680 than I like to win. That's a terrible, terrible thing 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:18.680 to play poker. 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.280 Could I agree with you? I don't want to grind 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:24.320 out twelve hours? Yeah, I just want to play exactly. 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:26.960 Let's you're losing all the time. Yeah? 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:30.480 Yeah, because after two three hours you're like, Okay, come on, guys, 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:31.160 I've seen it. 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:34.600 I can't. I can't sit for five hours. I don't. 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:37.000 I've got a life. Yeah. We got to spend some 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:41.439 money right now. I'm what they call dead money. What 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:42.840 movies are you most proud of? 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:46.880 I directed a short film like ten years ago that 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:52.080 went around town. Everybody, you know, the big studios, lots 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:56.760 of production companies saw it, and it brought me a 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:57.640 lot of offers. 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:00.800 When you do a short film, is the goal only 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:04.640 for it to give you more work? Yes, they're not profitable, 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:05.000 are they? 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:08.920 No, they're not right, they're not. It's really to show 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:12.520 your craft and how you can direct. It's a calling card. 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.040 Do people ever turn shorts into feature films? 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:19.240 Yes, they do. They do often. Wiplash. You heard about Whiplash. 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:21.680 Yeah, no, Whiplash it was a short before it was 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:24.320 a feature. Let me tell you some about Damien airstream. 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.560 Guy that built my airstream built his airstream. Okay, there's 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:30.680 weird connections around here. Do you prefer to write the 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:31.440 films you direct? 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:35.400 Absolutely, It's more rewarding because it's really your baby. 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:37.560 Are you calm on set? 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:38.720 Very calm? 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:41.160 And do do you get worked up? Do you like 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:42.920 to go to battle? Do you like to fight against 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:44.600 people that are giving you notes? Yes? 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:47.440 Absolutely, when they're giving me notes, I'm fighting when I 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:50.360 don't believe in it. But you know on set it's 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:54.560 the best way to direct is to stay calm because 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:59.400 you're basically getting so much shits thrown at you all 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.400 the time. If you're starting to panic or to scream, 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:07.480 your your, your your, your team will not follow as 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:10.920 if you stay calm, they say they see you calm 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.600 and concentrate it, they're gonna come with you. 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:15.680 You yell at them in different languages. 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:18.160 Most of the time not yelling at them, And when 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:22.000 I have to choose the language that hit them. 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:25.200 Your relationship with an actor, when they're not doing what 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:27.720 you need them to do or the way that you 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:29.720 envision it, how do you tell them what to do? 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:33.080 Because see I've never learned. I worked on a small 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.280 budget TV show that went for years and years, and 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:37.360 I never had the patience. So I would just always 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:39.280 be no, no, I need you to do that like this, 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:41.600 and I know you're not supposed to do that, but 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:44.640 I that wasn't what my show was about, so it 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:47.520 didn't matter. That works well, But you can't. You're not 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:49.520 allowed to tell actors. 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:52.600 Yes you are, well the secrets. The secret is, you know, 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:55.880 do whatever you need to do to make it work. 0:15:56.400 --> 0:16:00.000 Learn the language of an actor, and as you said, nuts, 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:02.520 tell them exactly what they should do, but tell them 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:05.280 what you want them to do in a way that 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:07.840 they understand that they can do whatever they want, but 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:09.440 exactly what you told them. 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:11.200 To do, and that works. 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:13.400 That works. 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:17.480 Do you prefer to make movies in English or once 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:19.000 people in America have to read? 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:23.320 I like it in English because I think it's a 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:28.760 language that really suits good dialogue. So that's that's really 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:32.320 the fun. To do it in English. I think French is, 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:36.200 you know, so elaborated language that the dialogue, the quick 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:42.600 and snap, snappy dialogues are not as funny as in English. 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:46.040 My goal was once now let it behind to do 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:49.320 a language in every movie, in every language. 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:51.720 You're talking about just the major languages, not not some 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:53.160 of these small tribe languages. 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:57.520 I mean, why not? Why not dialect? You know, Swiss dialect, Switz. 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.920 That would be wonderful. I, as a gotten older, just 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:04.879 love for movies for subtimes, because I can't hear to 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:07.960 begin with. So well, when I read a movie, at 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:11.359 least I get to hear every little thing, although sometimes 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:13.600 it's a bit distracting because sometimes you're not supposed to 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:16.639 hear everything. Do you care a ton about audio in 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:17.199 your movies? 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:17.640 Yes? 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:20.479 I tell Dylan this all the day. He is he 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:23.800 the way he treats this podcast. It's like they may 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:26.119 hear you, they may not. Yeah, I think I'll do. 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:29.320 It's fifty one percent of a movie. What about music score? 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:31.520 You pay a fortune for that? Yeah? 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:32.720 I don't pay. 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:38.959 I get paid, but if we, if we could, you know, 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:43.359 I'm always trying to get the producer to really get 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:45.080 the best music. 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:48.359 But when you want a specific song, then you have 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:49.200 to pay a lot. 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:55.160 Is the money in Hollywood? Is it? Is it going 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:56.600 to dry up? No? 0:17:57.240 --> 0:18:01.119 They invest tons of money in a Yeah, are. 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:05.680 You worried about Ai? Are you like constantly learning about 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:06.359 AI or no. 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:09.639 I'm not worry about it. I mean, yes, I'm worried 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:14.200 about AI in a more general scope of our life, 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:17.960 but not for movie making. I think it's gonna replace 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:21.280 a lot of our jobs. But that's with all the 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:25.639 new technology. And I think it's a technology that is here. 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:29.280 It's not that we can stop the trend. So it's here, 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:32.399 so you better learn how to use it. And my 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:35.800 big fear is about the ethical side of how to useing. 0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:39.440 It's I don't worry now. I feel like now I 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:42.840 can just deny anything that somebody says I've done. Yeah, 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:45.320 I didn't do that. I took a photo at a 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:48.520 party with a friend of mine recently and I had 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:52.840 a sour face, just like just suck. And he just 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:54.639 sent this to me because I didn't post this anywhere, 0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:56.679 but I just wanted to show you. He took this 0:18:56.800 --> 0:19:01.680 photo of me and aied me like jumping up from 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:06.080 the photo a two dimensions to now I'm dancing and 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:08.119 I'm just like and I'm like, are you out of 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:11.040 your none of this happened. I'm like, oh, well, I 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:16.440 can't wait for the judge to be like critics, do 0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:18.400 you what's your relationship? 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:23.240 I love them, especially when they're trashing my. 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:30.000 Art. Do they matter anymore at all? Yes? A little bit, Okay, yes, 0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:30.480 a little bit. 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:35.560 I think people read still read about before watching a movie. 0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:38.600 There is so many movies to see that they want 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:41.560 to know a little bit what the people think. And 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:46.000 the first thing that comes if you google it's some critics. 0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:52.840 Do you think films now are way better than they 0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:55.159 were in early Hollywood? 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:57.720 Not at all, I sink. 0:19:57.960 --> 0:19:59.680 I sink people don't think they're better. 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:02.520 No, I think they're different. You know, it has to 0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:05.800 go away different with the time, and right now a 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:12.159 lot of films really feed the platform, so you need entertainment, entertainment, entertainment, 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:16.000 and I think there was a period where we had 0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:18.879 less films but more substance. 0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:22.880 I always think of a comedian friend of mine, Nick Schwartz, 0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:25.280 and who had a bit and he talks about people 0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:27.960 that complain about movies today, and he's like, if you 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:33.200 were to take somebody from the fifties and let them 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:36.680 watch one of the new big budget movies that comes 0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:38.720 out now, their head would explode. 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:40.439 Yeah, I would have a stroke. 0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:46.000 Absolutely, It's the nonsense that we can do now is 0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:51.240 just remarkable. Do you hate the big American popcorn movies? 0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:52.040 I love them? 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:54.360 So you would like that call, like, hey, we want 0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:56.880 you to direct this next Marvel piece of shit? 0:20:57.520 --> 0:21:01.200 Marvel maybe not that's you know, but you can do. 0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:05.720 Yeah, in your opinion, who's the greatest director of all time? 0:21:06.080 --> 0:21:09.439 Obrick? Yeah, yeah, you've seen some. 0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:13.639 I've sure all of them. I've seen all of them, 0:21:14.200 --> 0:21:17.199
