NILE, by Peter Mbulo
http://www.wildsoundfestival.com/nile_by_peter_mbulo.html

We’re telling stories. Every scene is a piece of that tapestry. Every shot is like a thread in that tapestry. How do those individual threads work best to tell the story of that scene? What are the objectives of that scene? That’s what I’m trying to figure out. I hope to take an audience on a ride when I cut action. I think the best way to do that is by keeping track of the characters in the midst of whatever action is going on. What are they doing in the scene? How are they reacting? If you connect the audience to the characters, it becomes an immersive experience. I think every film, doesn’t matter what genre, succeeds when it gets to that level.

(in 2006, about The Departed (2006)] Working with [Martin Scorsese] is a dream come true and we’re just having a ball, Just how he commands a set . . . But we are staying true to the original film. We shot in New York for a couple of months, and then we’ve been in Boston the last three weeks, and then we’re coming back to New York through the first week of September. So it’s just a nice ride right now.

Zeljko Ivanek

Born: August 15, 1957 in Ljubljana, Slovenia

[Interview for “Films in Review” in 1985] There’s a thrill in performance on the stage that you don’t get in a movie. There’s a feeling that you are communicating something to an audience that you just don’t have during take 16 on a sound stage. A year later you see it on a screen and feel frustrated about things you’ve missed. Why didn’t I do this? Why didn’t I do that?
