The most important question for me when I begin working on a film is where to start. For a book, what makes you convinced there is a story that is worthwhile?
What is generally referred to as American-style films are, in fact, studio productions.
In the late 1980s the amount of German films was down to four or five percent of the market, and the remaining 95 percent were American. It is now 20 to 30 percent German productions.
