But that's having kids. I think that changes you more than marriage, I mean, marriage, it doesn't really change my sense of humor.
David and I got cut out the editing process on that. We were able to affect it more than not. We sent in our notes, we were able to see cuts. We weren't allowed to see dailies and we weren't allowed to sit in the editing room and just work.
I actually think there's a potential, a crazy potential, that network TV could become something valuable and worthwhile, just because of fear on the part of the networks.
I can't really say how big the cult is. But I'm proud of it. I'm proud that it has a life.
I feel the the independent feature scene is starting to evolve. The bottom's dropping out of it, and in a good way that's going to open it up to real alternative films again in a few years. I have this weird feeling that it's sort of evolving in a great way. It's falling apart and that's very good.
I mean, if your idea belongs on cable TV than that's where you should take it and you shouldn't try to force it into network TV, and vice versa.
I pretty much live about 10 minutes from my office. I have two kids, and I have about 8 projects that I'm working on, so I basically just get up and go to work, and go home every night and play with my kids, so I don't really know.
I think independent movies are actually very challenging right now, because it was this huge scene and it was great for a few years. Then, it was totally co-opted by the studios. Now, it's become very corporate, the independent scene.
I think people might think I've gotten a little more serious, but I just don't think that's true. I sort of always liked the same stuff.
I think that cable TV is a great venue to do something interesting.
I'm about to go to Sundance for my 3rd year, and Sundance has never felt like a real independent festival at all. On the other hand, it might to start feel that way.
It is so weird to be on this side of that, because when you're starting out, and it seems like you're starting out for so long, you look up to the people who have made their mark. And you sort of want to be that.
It's nice that the independent scene is taken seriously, and has been.
The alternative scene, for a couple years now, has been taken seriously and that's a cool thing. I don't think it's exploded or anything, but I think it's pretty cool that it still exists, it's still affecting people.
When I go to M Bar there's all kinds of agents there, looking for people who doing good stuff.
