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

It's always great to discover a new star of tomorrow

And I always had this idea for making a movie about a femme fatale, because I like these characters. They're a lot of fun, they're sexy, they're manipulative, they're dangerous.

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

I love working with women. I think they're beautiful. I like to photograph them. I like the way they interact. When I was in high school I used to hang out with the girls. When I went to graduate school, I was in an all girls school. So it's something I'm very familiar with and quite fascinated by.

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