Cinema Quote by Scott Derrickson

“The marketing of my movies is something I have no control over! I usually am shown things to give input beforehand. Some directors get really involved with that, but it's not what I do. I don't know anything about marketing; it's not my skill set!” quote by Scott Derrickson
