I believe, as a producer/director, your duty is to create a beautiful horror film that really resonates.

I only produce movies that have something stylistically different, so that I can learn from the experience of producing.

We're in three living groups, 'cause even after the world's ended some assholes still can't get along.

For eight years I did effects for other movies until I got my movie made

When you shoot in America, you have huge beams of sunlight in the windows, very vivid sunlight - it's faster in a way.

Imagine, there is almost no possibility for a foreign language film to be distributed in America right now. That doesn't just make the industry poorer, it makes the landscape of cinema poorer, in America. The impossibility to get a good release on a really good European, Latin American, Asian movie is a tragedy.

I think that in the past, in the '50s and '60s, after the existentialists and beatniks and hippie movements, the big deal was, Don't sell out. We live in a society that by virtue of the speed we communicate and sell, everything sells. The danger is buying in; that your concern becomes success, rather than fulfillment. They're two different beasts, and my feeling is that you should seek fulfillment. You should not measure your worth in how much you have or how popular you are, but how happy you are with what you do.
