Nemo, Wall-E writer/director: Listen to your gut, not the audience
Andrew Stanton on not anticipating what the audience will or won’t like:
…That’s the part of the film audience to trust — the audience in ourselves. We don’t need to guess what other people want. I don’t go to see another filmmaker’s movie hoping he’s guessed what I want. I go to see it because I like his sensibility and I want to see what he wants to do next, or she wants to do next.02:32 PM
