As the second instalment of epic science fiction film Avatar: The Way of Water is creating a tizzy at the box-office, award-winning director James Cameron has spoken about the pressures a filmmaker has to go through while making a movie at such a grand scale.

Cameron shared that one of the pressures on many filmmakers is how to stay objective about your own film. “I think there are a lot of pressures on many filmmakers. One of the biggest ones that people rarely talk about is how to stay objective about your own film. If you work on a film for five years, at the end of that period, can you still look at the movie and see it with fresh eyes? I think this is one of the hardest skills that as director one has to develop,” he said.
