Filmmaking in general is about feeling and not about theory. You need to know a lot of rules about filmmaking: character development, grammar, and all these thing, but then you use it instinctively. I ask myself this question all the time. I have no solid theory, I just do what I feel is right.

I don't read the news anymore because I know it would make me depressed. So instead, I make beauty. I make movies.

I feel like my job is to give hope. The world is in a dark place and we are living in somewhat of a nightmare. So I want to make films to give hope.

A movie should entertain you in a way that will also open your mind. I think movies are tools to enrich your experience.

When I was younger, I did dark movies. It was a reflection of what I saw around me.

As a filmmaker, you take reality and you tell a story from it.

This is what art can do in our time. Unite people, and give them hope.
