Question Films That Shaped My Approach to Filmmaking

[admin]

Certain films don’t just entertain they shape how we think about filmmaking.
Here are a few movies that influenced my perspective on storytelling,
camera work, pacing, or directing actors.

These films helped define how I approach my own projects today.
What films had a similar impact on you?

For me, I'd have to say Interstellar and The Walking Dead.

Interstellar made me realize that a story can be emotionally powerful while still exploring huge ideas. It changed how I think about building a world that feels bigger than the characters.

The Walking Dead taught me that the real tension doesn't always come from monsters—it comes from the people, the choices they make, and how they're changed by impossible situations.

Those two have definitely influenced the way I'm building my own horror project, SAVAGE SMILE. I'm still learning, but every great film or series I watch teaches me something new about storytelling.
