I am a mechanical techie. I can build things with my hands.

It's a relationship I went through that collapsed my entire view of the world in a very extreme way.

When things aren't working out for people, the end of the world seems like an easy way to wipe the slate clean.

I was writing short films and I was going through this really, really, really terrible end of a relationship that I didn't want to be going through. It was too much for me to process and all of a sudden I had this idea for my first feature film and I knew right away I had to start writing it.

I don't have any ambitions as an actor. I felt very uncomfortable doing it. The first take every day I'd open my mouth and no words would come out. I'd do a couple of takes and eventually I could run the lines.

I hope I don't have to act in one of my own projects again.

If I have an idea I want to put in a movie, I know what camera will make that look best, and I have ideas for future projects and stuff I'd like to build for those. I think it's just part of how I work, though.
