David Gordon Green

If you haven’t heard of this filmmaker stop what you’re doing and go rent/buy a few DVD’s — if you dig indie films his work is truly inspiring. SNOW ANGELS, GEORGE WASHINGTON and ALL THE REAL GIRLS have been really influential to me these past few years.

This video features a quick interview with David Gordon Green where he gives some really good advice on filmmaking. There’s a really funny moment in this as well to me as I could totally relate (SPOILER: he talks about the idea of being jealous if he saw a film that he wish he’d made).

As I like to say:
Everyone borrows; it’s from whom you choose to borrow that makes you unique.

He’s definitely one on my list.
