I produced six movies with Amy Robinson since the very early 80s.

New York means so much to people. If you're inclined to leave the nest, New York is where most people think they have to go, and it's been that way since the first skyscraper.

Documentaries have always inspired me in narrative filmmaking.

I love working with actors. I love to see what they're going to do. There's just something very thrilling and satisfying with being involved with something, all the way through the process [making movie].

Every movie is wildly different. So many of the problems are the same, but they take on different guises.
