and they called me mad

My every instinct is that we should walk away from Hollywood.
We can't be Hollywood.
It's got to be without makeup, without professional actors, without all the joyless acoutrements that cost money and are worth nothing.
This thing is going to be fuelled on self belief.
We've got to think this is good just because it's us.
It's going to sink or swim on natural joy.
Find the undiscovered Diana Keaton. Wherever she is.
Find actors who don't immediately come across as horrendous snobs.
So find actors unlike anybody on the screen today.
Find nice people.
Find people who still believe in the impossible.
Find a bunch of people who are willing to drop everything and move mountains in order to spend a Summer together making a film for a nutty Irish writer.
It's revolutionary.
It's crazy.
It just might work.
