Griffin Dunne
"As a director, I've been able to combine with what I've learned as an actor and as a producer: it melds quite nicely into what I feel like I should have been doing all along."

Actor

Quote_1.png
Griffin Dunne
"But at the same time, never having final cut before, I really learned an interesting thing for any studio executive who is reading this: that if a director has final cut, it's actually easier and more interesting to listen to notes."

Time

Griffin Dunne

Act

Quote_1.png
Griffin Dunne

Time

Quote_1.png
Griffin Dunne
"On every movie I've done as a director, I look at the producers and having done it, I don't envy them, at all."

Envy

Quote_1.png
Griffin Dunne
"I came to New York to be an actor and I became a film producer first."

Actor

Quote_1.png
Griffin Dunne
"In the '80s, I can't say that Amy and I were aware of an independent film community. We could only get a certain amount of money for our pictures, which made them low budget movies, but they were distributed through studios."

Money

Quote_1.png
Griffin Dunne
"I'm being told it saves money to shoot in Toronto, because of tax benefits, the crews are cheaper, but what I save in the bottom line, I lose in a million other ways."

Money

Quote_1.png
Griffin Dunne
"I think we were the first picture to cut on Final Cut Pro. So we were the guinea pigs, because we got a deal on the system. But with that comes all sorts of technological problems I couldn't begin to describe."

First

Quote_1.png
Griffin Dunne
"My hunger and desperation, being an actor, an out of work actor - my memory of that is as fresh as an open wound."
