Every time I trust my instincts I land on my feet and every time I don't, I go, "Why didn't I trust my instinct?"

I'm a big believer of "when there is a will there is a way" but from the studio's perspective I think it just seems like a bigger leap than you can get a sort of bureaucratic move to make.

The process of casting a movie has many complicated variables...

I am a loyalist and I really absolutely love film.

I believe locations should try to be and evoke the characters in a movie.

The opportunity to shoot and get the depth out of the film - that I don't think you can get out of digital - is a huge deal for me.

What I have learned first and foremost is to follow your instincts. As a filmmaker, there are no rules as to how to play this game. That is a big problem I think that exists in the education on how to be a filmmaker or how to make movies.
