I just saw 'Tiny Furniture' and became so obsessed with it that Judd Apatow jokes that I'm the distributor of it. I was making copies and giving them out.
When I saw the rough cuts of 'The Village of Peace,' I was immediately intrigued and wanted to share this story on the global stage.
After 'The Room' premiered in 2003 - which went exactly as it does in 'The Disaster Artist' - I didn't think it was going to go anywhere. It wasn't a film I wanted to share with people.
It's incredible to see the creativity, beauty and hardships people capture when filmmaking is opened up and shared with the world.
What I do is doing movies and sharing movies.
One of the gifts one movie lover can give another is the title of a wonderful film they have not yet discovered
There are all sorts of inventive ways to get your film out there: sometimes via the Internet, sometimes via viral screenings in people's living rooms across the country.
The Room' has just been something that has spread for so many years in such an organic way because, it's just people wanting to share it with their friends and take people to the theater to see it.
I don't really have a schedule of when I want to show my children my movies.
The traditional ways to make a film, the traditional ways to share a film, have all collapsed. There are no gatekeepers, per se, any more, and anything can be done. Truly, I feel that.
