I would love to do a small indie comedy, like a Wes Anderson movie or, like, an ensemble comedy like 'The Royal Tenenbaums' or 'Little Miss Sunshine.' I like comedies like that, that have a lot of heart and are about family dynamics.
I've never done a studio movie, let alone worked for a network. Every one of my films has been independently financed.
My one hope for Netflix and Amazon is to be a little more art house- and indie-friendly, pushing those just as hard as they push their originals.
Non-studio entities can experiment with storytelling that might be too niche... for a studio.
I've been a fan of 'High Maintenance' since it was on Vimeo. My husband and I were obsessed with it. It's one of the best things ever made, period. It's a completely unique perspective.
At last we've seen the first installment of Joss Whedon's new web series, 'Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog,' and it's sweeter than we'd ever imagined.
There's an indie movie I did called 'Fat Kid Rules the World,' which was based on a teen book, and it's a fabulous story, and hopefully it'll go to theaters because it is an amazing story.
We never thought 'Boyhood' was ever gonna become Oscar-considered. Our shooting budget was $2.8m for 12 years. Altogether. I didn't know if anyone would see it or appreciate it.
If you're creative, they let you be the showrunner, producer. The first thing my partner and I did as producers was hire ourselves as directors - because who else would hire me?
I feel happy working in the low-budget realm, doing stuff that is a little bit more esoteric, and personal.
