Sam Rockwell has a fantastic sense of rhythm.

I do enjoy the puzzle-solving aspect of making a movie.

Sometimes there's a disjoint between what works on the page and what works with visual story telling.

As soon as I finished film school I was thinking about, how do I get to feature films? It took about eight years, and I'm still working. Feature films was not the end goal. Feature films was one of the stages. Getting to the point of the Coen brothers or Tarantino, where you're writing your own material and have the budget to do it properly, that's the end goal, and I'm close to that.

I played lots of games and I was a fan of gaming, so I was always looking for new games.

My biggest difference with our film and those kinds of science fiction films is that they are going from one special effect set piece to the next, what we were doing was more of a character study. And I think that is the freedom that you get by doing an Indie film. You can only really do that with a lower budget. So I understand where the conflict is between those two priorities.

I think that idea of being far away from the people that you love is something that everyone can relate to.
