Shane Smith : (3) " I want to be like Tom Freston. Tom just flies around everywhere, gets to make movies, gets to start TV shows, hang out with cool people and do whatever he wants. " - Shane Smith " It’s our job to get into the hardest-to-see places and bring back the best footage – we have the best footage of North Korea ever shot. If that’s a stunt, then I’ll keep on doing stunts until I die. " - Shane Smith " If you look at film, distribution is pre-bought. If you’ve paid for the distribution, you say, ‘I have to make sure it’s a film that gets enough butts in the seats.’ I think that’s the problem: It becomes prohibitively expensive, and you can’t develop films for a smaller amount of money.
