I didn’t start making films until I was 34. But that wasted youth was probably the most valuable asset for what I’m doing now. You see the world, you end up in jail three or four times, you accumulate experience. And it gives you something to say. If you don’t have anything to say then you shouldn’t be making films. It’s nothing to do with what lens you’re using.
what about porn
Porn is its own self-contained universe. I’m pretty sure someone could make beautifully shot porn but I doubt anyone would watch it.
