I prefer the smaller budget versus the bigger budget because the mentality that goes along with big budget filmmaking doesn't really suit me; the mind-set that money is the answer.
I have been a director who has starred, participated on both sides of the filmmaking process.
I throw it all in there, Kung Fu, blaxploitation, horror.
We felt like we had done as much as you can do with the slasher genre. We were trying to find the next group of scary movies that were ripe for parody.
There are two phases to a movie. First you shoot the movie, and then you make the movie. Generally, post-production is longer than filming.
I always prefer the big laugh. That is always the objective, especially with a film like Scary Movie 2.
