That's what film can do in a way that TV and other long-form storytelling can't. It gives you this very immersive moment. J. C. Chandor filmformimmersive Change image and share on social

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 70s80scome share on social

When I have people around, I'm a chatterbox. But when I'm alone, I never speak. I don't talk to myself; it's just not my schtick. J. C. Chandor chatterboxpeopleschtick Change image and share on social
The original Spencer Tracy version of 'The Old Man and the Sea' was always terribly flawed because of the over-reliance on voice over, but it's still a beautiful movie. J. C. Chandor beautifulflawedman Change image and share on social
