“If your financiers care about the movie, they will be involved in a ve...” — David Lowery Quote

If your financiers care about the movie, they will be involved in a very constructive fashion, but it can get out of hand very quickly, and that is something to be aware of in any type of filmmaking.

The very first film I ever made, when I was seven years old, when I got my hands on a camcorder, was a remake of 'Poltergeist,' which I hadn't seen yet because my parents wouldn't allow me to. But I made my own version of it, and it starred my brother in a bed sheet.

Especially in the Western world, so much of our cultural ideas about grieving is about us, and I think it's important to get beyond that sometimes.

So many of my films involve houses or homes that have been abandoned. People trying to get back home. That's an idea that I keep dealing with.

I feel like covering my children's eyes when they watch television. It's better that they spend their time doing something constructive.

I've heard about productions where it still happens: yellow face, taping up the eyes. It's hard to talk about it in a constructive way.

I think that looking forward it's easy to imagine more constructive help for Haiti.

All options to produce, transmit, and store electricity should be considered, driven by clear price signals and constructive government policy.

I've been mentored by editors who encouraged me to be constructive and never cruel.
