Declaration
film director
“By the time we finished writing the screenplay, there were over forty characters. I finally realized the absurdity of presenting a film this massive to a production company, so I decided to produce it myself. My idea, which I then put in practice, was to make it a big coproduction with the actors and crew. They worked on the project for free and got in return a share proportional to their level of participation. I covered all the out-of-pocket expenses. […] In the end, all of these shareholders of ours got a percentage of the film’s grossing: it was a common investment, so they should all be treated equally."
