The following is An Excerpt of an Exclusive Interview with Producer Bruce Edwin, by Hollywood Sentinel Art and Literature Editor and Fine Artist Moira Cue:

Q: How many films have you been attached to?

Bruce Edwin: I stopped keeping track a while ago, but it would be in the dozens I would say. Right now I am exclusively focused on projects that I develop or that the company fully owns and controls.

Q: How long have you been producing?
Bruce Edwin: Technically I was producing in film school, but on major projects, a little under fifteen years.

Q: What do you wish you had learned that you had to find out the hard way about producing?

Bruce Edwin: I prefer not to have regrets. However

Q: Who do you consider the greatest filmmaker of all time?

Bruce Edwin: I don't really consider anyone the greatest. That title is so arbitrary, and there are so many different styles and genres of movie making. I can give you a short list of who some of the greatest are in my view. That list would include, in no certain order; Jean Luc Goddard, John Cassavetes, David Lynch, Francois Truffaut, Federico Fellini, Orson Welles, Kenneth Anger, Krzysztof Kieślowski, Alan Parker, Billy Wilder, John Hughes, Dario Argento, Maya Deren, Stan Brakhage, and Victor Fleming, to name a few.

Q: Why do you love Jean Luc Godard?

Bruce Edwin:

Q: How do you define success in the entertainment industry for yourself?

Bruce Edwin: I used to define success in Hollywood by how rich, famous, and powerful someone was who created great art. Great art is an important part of that, because there is a lot of bad art in Hollywood out there, which to me is not true success. Today, I consider one successful in the entertainment industry if they are happy, and improving their life and the lives of others or culture as a whole on a ever-expanding basis. I think the other formula I mentioned can be nice too, but ultimately, happiness and helping oneself and others is more important than any fame or fortune.
