Lawrence Kasdan Interview
Back with a movie about his dog
"I still believe I can do this work. That has not changed. But it is discouraging to go nine years without a movie when all you want to do is make movies."
Wary or wise, or both, the Kasdans didn't shop the modestly scaled Darling Companion to the studios. Instead, they went indie, an experience Kasdan found exhilarating and freeing.

"This is a different world," the director says. "Meg and I don't even know what other movies are coming out on our opening date because it doesn't matter. We're going to be in three, maybe five theaters, and if we can't get people there, maybe we'll get them in San Francisco or Philadelphia. That's kind of great.
"Truffaut said that when what you're interested in matches up with the public, it's an accident. It's so true. It's all timing and gestalt. If you've had the luxury of expressing something personal, and no one goes, that's not a shock. If it's personal, and people go, that's the shock."
