As soon as you start making a film that's expensive then the studio wants total control over all elements of it because they want to get all their money back. if you make a smaller film you can try a lot more things because you can have control over it and not just be a hired director. the lower the budget the more freedom you have.

More From Jim Jarmusch

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?
Money Night Crowds
So it [3d] is something i'm still learning, it's fresh, so if the budget allows i'll do it again and just see how far it goes because it's the frontier, it's more interesting. it's still expensive, the projection system can be annoying sometimes, it's not really regulated or perfected yet, so it's still expensive. if i do a lower budget i'll just do 2d, but if the budget allows i think i'll try 3d.

There were two recording studios in bellingham. one was really expensive, a "nice studio." we were at the point where we were young and irreverent. we would scoff at the idea of a nice studio. "why would you want to go to a nice studio? oh wow, they have really expensive gear. ooh, that's really fancy. well we've got an eight-track. we've got it going on here." now that we have the resources, we're like, "oh wow, a nice studio is pretty nice! they do have nice outboards here. it's actually a pretty good place." it's funny how much changes so quickly.
Nice Irreverent
We know, southern men declare that their slaves are better off than hired laborers amongst us. how little they know, whereof they speak! there is no permanent class of hired laborers amongst us. twenty-five years ago, i was a hired laborer. the hired laborer of yesterday, labors on his own account today; and will hire others to labor for him tomorrow.
Men Years Class
All i've learned is that you need the studio system sometimes, if your budget is a certain size, and other films you can do independently. when i think of a studio, i generally think of distribution. since i'm a director, i have a similar creative experience on every film i do, because i can control that. but then it's a different film, i think, as it reaches the public, depending on the way it's marketed. i don't know. i haven't learned much of anything. sometimes you need them, sometimes you don't. sometimes they want you, most of the time they don't.
Thinking Creative Different
With a director it's all about the work; i'd work with a great director over - you know, i'm not the kind of actor who that doesn't go, 'i want to play this role.' it's more like, 'i want to work with this director,' regardless of what the role is because if it's a good director, you'll probably find a good role because it's a decent film. but a mediocre director will always make a mediocre movie.

Kind
Knowledge is of two kinds: we know a subject itself, or know where to find it.
Two Kind Subjects
It was a house without kindness, never meant to be lived in, not a fit place for people or for love or for hope. exorcism cannot alter the countenance of a house ; hill house would stay as it was until it was destroyed.
Kindness People House
