Ben Affleck screened the world premiere of his new directorial venture `Air` at South by Southwest Film and TV Festival (SXSW) in Austin on Saturday and expressed how much he wanted his Amazon Studios project to succeed.
"Tonight is the most important night of my professional life," Affleck declared from the stage, amid making some self-deprecating references to previous projects which were not widely popular. "This is an optimistic, hopeful movie about people. So I can`t hide behind being an auteur - [as if to say] `you don`t need to understand my movie.` I really hope you like it ... So no pressure, but it`s all on you.", reported The Hollywood Reporter, a US-based media company.
