The director of photography and I went to Orlando to start scouting, we both brought along a copy of Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker, and we gave it to each other to watch, simultaneously. He had just read the script the night before for the first time and it somehow made him think of that movie, and I gave it to him also because that was the tone I was thinking about.

I like Kurosawa, Kubrick, Gus Van Sant. I have a huge array of favorite films. I like everything Kubrick's done. I love Terrence Malick films. P.T. Anderson is a big influence.

Going there with my own kids when I became an adult and my wife (who had never been there before) seeing the park through my wife's eyes. She was a nurse and she described it as "Worse than working the psych floor at the hospital." It's hot, it's humid, it's sensory overload, you are trying to give your kids the best day ever and it's never enough. There is a lot of pressure to go on all of the rides, to do EVERYTHING. You have to form a war plan and if anyone deviates from the plan, it's domestic anarchy.

Annet: It's like New York City but with a lot of children.

I think we have reached a point with technology where you can just go out with a DSLR camera and just a laptop and make a film that is on par with some of the best Hollywood movies out there.

I wrote this on a yellow legal pad of paper. When I try to work on a computer I get too distracted so I wrote a first draft in long hand and then when it was done, I would tell you to keep working on it and give it to everyone to read and look at so that you can get their feedback.

If you're writing your own material, I would read as many scripts as you possibly can. I started off as a story editor, so I was reading 12-15 scripts a week and writing coverage on those scripts, so I think that is the best way to learn, to keep reading scripts.

Annet says for me singing songs in French in public.

Just knowing that any day could be our last day shooting in the park. And not getting discovered. We just had regular photo gear, it was not like we were smuggling anything into the park.

Annet: People were distracted by the French girls.

I really liked going to Epcot as a child. There was a ride there called Horizons which is no longer there that I thought was great. There was also another ride in the Magic Kingdom called If you had wings that was sponsored by Eastern Airlines that for some reason I really liked, it was one of my favorite rides.
