Two films that have marked your life for better or for worse…
Gulliver's Travels 1939 and East of Eden 1955 for the better of course. There are no bad movies but just hard days.
What do you think about Acting/ filmmaking schools?
Untill the end of time. It's the only place that refresh a memory of a forgotten knowledge, sometimes without even noticing.
Have you ever hated your ambition?
Only briefly when I was starting out. It was taking every aspect of my life in terms of free time and scheduling. When I decided this is what I want to do with my life, I started hating myself that I didn't gave %110 at the time.
Francois Truffaut used to think that "Film Lovers are sick people”… was
he right?
Sick in terms of "that is all he/she knows?" Than I agree to be sick, at least I know something others don't. And one day they'll realise that there is no better feeling than understanding the human psyche, that only books and cinema can teach us, because someone else will be in need of your help like you needed at some point.
Close your eyes…if I say “Cinema” what do you see?
God and the cosmos.
Who’s the Director\Actor\Writer that taught you the most?
Konstantin Stanislavski.
About your job, tell us your biggest dream and your worst nightmare…
When I realized that the clock doesn't exist but only time, and that the consciousness has an expiration date, my worst nightmare is not achieving my writting/acting goals, and passing them on future generations before I leave this Earth.
How important is to have a good Cinematographic Culture?
Culture is the right word, yes, it's very important because it shows other cultures about a certain one and it's points of view.
What would you like to improve as a Filmmaker\Actor\Writer?
Not every culture sees a story same. Put the business on the 2nd place and show a story that more cultures can understand, you'd be amazed of the positive criticism, which will skyrocket the business by itself.
