Just making a movie the way ‘All is Lost’ had to be made was a great experience, because it was structured differently than any other film I will make for the rest of my life. J. C. Chandor Read Quote
I’m a huge fan of the films of the ’70s and even into the ’80s, Sidney Lumet, all those films that used what was going on in people’s lives as drama. And not only are you entertained, but hopefully have a greater understanding of your world coming out of it. J. C. Chandor Read Quote

I had decent but not great grades in high school because I was highly motivated in some subjects, like the arts, drama, English, and history, but in math and science I was a screw-up. Wooster saw something in me, and I really flourished there. I got into theatre, took photography and painting classes. J. C. Chandor Read Quote
To have a second movie that you’re proud of and that actually turned out the way you wanted, shot by shot, I realize I’m probably going to be able to do this for a little while for my living. J. C. Chandor Read Quote
We print money. The people that print the money is actually us. The government of the United States of America. By its very nature, we control that, and this system is there as representation of us. J. C. Chandor Read Quote
