The reality is that I feel that fear is a very spiritual emotion.

I was part of a group that had a cinema club so every week we would project two or three movies on 16 or 35mm.

If you get bored with nothing to do, you are not a writer.

I started when I was eight, doing super 8 films

I only produce directors and movies that I have a lot in common with.

Never fly commercial. That's the moral of this story.

But I think we are seeing a resurgence of the graphic ghost story like The Others, Devil's Backbone and The Sixth Sense. It is a return to more gothic atmospheric ghost storytelling.
