If you're working on a movie, you want it to be projected on the largest tapestry possible, and the sound to be perfect, and for that kind of communal experience of the movies to take place for it. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
In some movies you feel like you're a very small part of a huge machine. Whereas in the theater you can have a very small part, but you can still feel the weight and the gravity of it. Given the nature of theater, it's a more concentrated and quiet experience. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
But in the back of my mind I've always looked to the biggest-scale Hollywood movies. Because to me the most satisfying experience is of watching a movie, if it's done really well. And so that aspiration is always it for me, if I have the opportunity to do it. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Making movies is a very different experience in a lot of ways.

Sometimes when we weep in the movies we weep for ourselves or for a life unlived. Or we even go to the movies because we want to resist the emotion that's there in front of us. I think there is always a catharsis that I look for and that makes the movie experience worthwhile. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
How do people relate to movies now, when they're on portable devices or streaming them? It's not as much about going to the movies. That experience has changed. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Very often I've known people who wouldn't say a word to each other, but they'd go to see movies together and experience life that way. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I was a cartoonist when I was at university, but I decided to go into movie making knowing that I could still draw by doing movies, design work, story boards, and such. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
