00:00Every time I start a new scene, I'm nervous.
00:02And when that verges on panic, I get great ideas.
00:10I tried very hard to get into USC film school,
00:13and I just didn't have the grades to get in.
00:14And I realized this was going to be what I was going to do,
00:18or I was going to die trying.
00:19When I got into the group of the movie Brats,
00:22it was the first time I felt like an insider.
00:24This is Steve, and get the camera arranged. Great.
00:26The word around town was Jaws was folly and that it was going to be a disaster.
00:31Dun, dun. Dun, dun, dun, dun.
00:34The night Jaws opened, we were looking, going down all the lines,
00:37and I said, this is it.
00:39There were people that hated him,
00:41people that blamed him for ruining the movies.
00:44All my films come from the part of myself that I really can't articulate.
00:48Shendler changed my entire approach to cinema.
00:51He was like someone whose skin had been torn off.
00:53He has a dynamic sense of real filmmaking.
00:57You think of that young kid one day sneaking his way into a studio
01:00and manifesting his own destiny.
01:03It's a pretty fantastic Hollywood story.
