You never can predict things. I knew the movie Peducted would get a reaction, because it's showing a different vision of our soldiers in Iraq. All we ever get told is that they're valued and we support them, and as they're represented on television, they're true-blue and honorable. Which is true, for the most part.

The real trouble with film school is that the people teaching are so far out of the industry that they don't give the students an idea of what's happening.

I've been sort of traveling around the country for ten years talking about independent features.

Yeah, I had an idea to make a very scary movie, based on a kind of serial murderer that preys on tourists.

But, number one, I think traditional noir doesn't work in contemporary storytelling because we don't live in that world anymore

The camera lies all the time; lies 24 times/second.

Well, like any time you're shooting documentary stuff, you've got to be in the moment, and you've got to be able to be in control enough to capture what's happening
