I've been clawing my way to directing since I was a kid.

I'm a fan of musicals from great masters, and I was able to have an opportunity to express myself in musical numbers with Glee.

I've been clawing my way to directing since I was a kid.

Musicals and horror films can be very non-verbal and very pure cinema with movement. The camera is justified in being a character. It can really move and tell a story, and literally direct you to look here or there.

I just wanted to make movies, but I never though about, "How am I being perceived because of my culture or my skin?"

TV is all new to me because I came from features.

The fun of directing for me, other than working with the actors, is trying to extract those ideas that you have in your head and make them real.
