“If you in in the theatre now to see a normal movie and watch the audience, you see they watch they’re phones, always! Because they know that they can get the story because of the sound.” - Michel Hazanavicius
“It’s just incredible. When you’re French, coming from a non-English language country, you don’t even dream about Oscar recognition or nominations. It’s just beyond the dream. It’s something very, very special and unique. It’s the highest recognition any filmmaker could dream of.”
-Michel Hazanavicius (Director of The Artist)

Filming The Artist in Los Angeles was a dream come true, and to receive this recognition today is far beyond what I ever imagined.
