The great coming to age of cable is really a beautiful thing. No commercials. It's like a small theater. It's a cinema on a TV screen.

I have no problem getting financing. I have a problem catching ideas that I fall in love with for the next feature.

Chrysta Bell looks like a dream and Chrysta Bell sings like a dream. And the dream is coming true.

There are only 24 hours in a day, and my top priority is working on my films, but I love short film experiments.

I didn't know anything about film when I first started - I was a painter - but I [always] felt that sound was just as important as the picture. The sound, picture, and ideas have to marry. If an idea carries with it a mood, sound is critical to making that mood.

I have to make what I see, whether it's a painting, a table, or a movie, or it's like a death and what would be the point of that?

Stories hold conflict and contrast, highs and lows, life and death, and the human struggle and all kinds of things.
