"The most difficult part of filmmaking is when I'm going for something that I haven't done before. I'm trying to give the audience a new feeling through the use of camera, and I'm looking for something that is cinematically vague and stylized, 
and I don't know what it is - until I discover it."
James Cameron - Director/Writer

"Some days I am Orson Welles. Other days I am the worst loser, impostor, know-nothing wannabe filmmaker in the world. I believe both with equal conviction. And I've become friends with that rudderless feeling." 
Alexander Payne - Director/Writer


"A director makes a thousand decisions a day, and you better be right about most or else your movie is poorly directed. Directing is tone - and tone is the hardest thing to explain to someone. It's like how you know you're in love with somebody." Jason Reitman - Director/Writer

"No one has ever tapped me on the shoulder and said "Go be a director, here's 
a lot of money!"  But with a lot of creative energy and a lot of labor, you can 
find a way to make the films you want." 
John Sayles - Director/Writer

"Every time you call "ACTION" and then "CUT" - you create your own film magic in between those two words, and when you're finally all done, you get your name 
written with the credit "Directed by" - it doesn't get much better than that!" 
 

Guy Magar - Director/Writer & Action/Cut Founder
