Terms of engagement: Fernando Meirelles on the changing dynamics of filmmaking

“We have to make films that will fit the big screens of the movie theatres as well as the smaller screens of the mobile phones. It is not an option but an evolution.” –Fernando Meirelles

“You are often tempted to go grand and in the process, sacrifice the soul of the story. I was working with two brilliant actors and I wanted to focus on their expressions. So, we restricted ourselves mostly to close-ups.” –Fernando Meirelles
