Trivia Raised money to make Mad Max (1979) by working as an Emergency Room Doctor.
Quotes Roman Polanski, a master filmmaker, said there is only one perfect place for the camera at any given time. When you shoot animation, and you have exactly the same performance, exactly the same words, exactly the same lighting, but you shift the camera, you're virtually able to prove that. You can experiment with the camera in animation with no cost. And you would find, as best as you could, that ideal place... That's why I think some of the best filmmaking comes out of places like Pixar and DreamWorks and all the animation houses, because they know where they can put the camera. [2015]
