I didn’t feel like it was a filmmaker’s medium anymore in 1993. I just had a sense that it wasn’t really fulfilling for me creatively and I went back to making things that were more personal and that I was more passionate about. Once I realized the importance of marketing and the importance of everything other than the content itself, I didn’t last very long. So why did you turn your back on Hollywood so quickly and move to the art world? The films I was making when I was in my early teens were all experimental tone films and visual things, so when I was seduced by Hollywood it was an interesting way to work on a big scale with a lot of resources. Because we were friends and he wasn’t available to make a project with the producer Joel Silver, he recommended me. How did you get to direct a huge blockbuster like Demolition Man at age 28?ĭavid Fincher actually got me my first film.

Brambilla, are you the only person to ever direct a film with Sylvester Stallone and have artwork in the Guggenheim Museum?
