  • Quotes
    It used to be that if you made a good film that really worked on a lot of levels, that was the most important thing. Now you've got to sell people with a sound bite. There's no time for people to discover movies anymore.
    • Films often focus on animal and human interactions.

      (1979)
      $33,000 + 7% of gross
