I hate films with a clear message, ones that have their answers already when they start.

I like to apply storytelling methods and techniques to try to frame the story in an interesting way, but you can never control what's happening.

Haiti is the best cure against melancholy; it is also the most creative place for me to be. My productivity has increased enormously since I moved to Haiti. That's where I write my stories, develop my ideas and write nonstop, so it's a productive time, not a sleepy time.

When I have something to work against, it liberates my imagination. I believe very much in authentic inspiration. I'm not about calculation.

I hate films with a clear message, ones that have their answers already when they start.

I like the idea of chance coming into filmmaking, in shooting, in editing, and I do make space in my rules of game for chance.

Every time I go to Haiti after a season of busy work in Europe, I feel like I'm submerging into a certain state of mind, which is very productive.
