I just try to try to keep an attitude that I don't know what I'm doing. Not to the point where I'm beating myself up but I just go in thinking that I have a lot to learn. And I hope I still have that attitude 30 years from now.
They seem much rarer now those auteur films that come out of a director's imagination and are elliptical and hermetic. All those films that got me into independent cinema when I was watching it seem thin on the ground.
