Jon Favreau

I think the bigger the movie is, the harder it is to maintain the idea of an auteur. You're servicing something beyond just your own vision. Whenever there's a lot of money on the line, it is your responsibility to make sure that you're doing your best to have people not lose their money and to actually win by betting on it.

American Actor

Noah Centineo

I definitely have that bug; I'd really like to do some auteur, existential pieces, darker films, something that's really reflective of life. But I also love the genre of rom-coms, and I don't see myself completely detaching from that.

Toby Jones

They seem much rarer now, those auteur films that come out of a director's imagination and are elliptical and hermetic. All those films that got me into independent cinema when I was watching it seem thin on the ground.

English Actor

Rachel Morrison

I think Marvel's incredibly supportive of young auteurs and really let them do their thing and support their vision. They give you a sandbox to play in, but it's a pretty massive one.

American Director

Alan Parker

I always argued against the auteur theory; films are a collaborative art form. I've had some fantastically good people help me make the movies.

British Director

Sam Taylor-Johnson

When you have an author and an auteur, it's a difficult and challenging relationship.

English Director

George Hickenlooper

I'm very strongly in favor of the auteur theory.

Park Chan-wook

I don't really believe in the auteur theory.

South Korean Director

Dee Rees

My ultimate dream was just to be an auteur.

Peter Jackson

New Zealander Director

An auteur not only directs but also has creative authority over the film's vision.

Creative Control

Auteur implies a director's signature style that you can recognize across their movies.

Distinct Style

An auteur is deeply involved in writing, producing, and sometimes acting in their movies.

Total Involvement

In arts, 'auteur' extends to creators who show unique personal expression, not just filmmakers.

Beyond Films

An auteur's work is often autobiographical or very personal in nature.

Personal Touch

Auteurs aren't confined to one genre, their style is consistent across different types of art.

Genre Flexibility

 are the Creative Commons which is offering auteurs this simple way to mark their content with the freedoms they intended to carry so that we go from a all rights reserved world to a some rights reserved world so that people can know the freedoms they have attached to
