    • Sydney (on his favorite part of the filmmaking process): Editing, because I'm alone and there isn't the necessity of having to organize so many people. Editing feels almost like sculpting or a form of continuing the writing process.
    • Sydney: I don't value a film I've enjoyed making. If it's good, it's damned hard work.
