I think the financial restraint really pushes me as a director to be more creative with the way I shoot the film.

For me and my films I want my audience to experience cinema in its full glory. It's not just visual, it's audio as well. It's emotional and I want you to be engaged with not just the scene but with the characters.

For me, the sound design and the musical score is a big part of what makes scary movies work.

I'm a big movie fan, and I want to make movies in every genre. I want to make my romantic comedy one day.

When you're watching an action movie, you experience an action movie more outside of the aquarium, you're out of the aquarium looking in at all the swimming fish that are in there. Whereas horror films and thrillers are designed to put the audience into that box, into that aquarium.

Your actors need to trust you as a director, but normally, I think you just need to have an open communication between the actors and the director. I think the director needs to really paint his or her vision to the cast and let them know the kind of mood that he or she is making. I think that's very important.

I think you can say a lot with the movement of your camera but you can also say a lot by keeping it still.
