You were up at 5 o'clock in the morning, and then you'd ride in a caravan, because we didn't have big movie trucks or trailers that is the hardware of a movie camp.
I couldn't care less about actors' trailers and food on sets and stuff like that - I just want to act.
As the director, you cannot control what people do after hours or in their trailers or on break. Why would you want to? But you can't.
I don't watch trailers, I like to go into every movie fresh.
For my 'Perfect Chemistry' series, I did movie-style book trailers, and my fans went crazy for them.
'Free Agents' was an awesome experience. I never play the glam girl in anything, so that was a new experience. I would walk into one of my trailers and it would be like Spanx, a spray-tan gun, and chicken cutlets. I would have hair extensions. It was hilarious. Every day felt like I was turning into an awesome drag queen.
High-level actors can be all about their close-ups and the size of their trailers. I'd heard these horror stories of how a really powerful actor can come in and change your script.
As a filmmaker, I wish we didn't have to do trailers at all, quite honestly. I wish we didn't have to do posters. I wish didn't have to give anything away. I wish people could just come in the movie blind. But as an audience member, I respect that you have to tell an audience that this is worth your time.
I always like teaser trailers because they don't give too much away, you know? They give just a flavor of what the thing is.
On a big film, there's almost no way you can meet everyone. On an indie, there are 30 people and no trailers to duck into.
