It's like a chamber piece,

That's how this (movie) felt to me, a real director- actors' piece, with two people just sitting in airplane seats. It's gripping.

For the last 15 years, we've worked with the Chamber of Commerce. We're not doing anything different than in the past; we've just formalized it.

I like to think I'm making films in the film business where movies are making enough numbers for the studios to let me keep working, but you also want those films to have content that makes you proud you made the film. That's not easy, but it's a fun puzzle to figure out.

'To Kill a Mockingbird' was so important because it was such adult film-making - to see something that dealt with such an important issue and had such an enlightened outlook on the world.

I never went to film school, so I never had the chance to be rejected.
