Anamorphic is very difficult because the distance from the lens to the person to focus is very long so you need a lot of distance from the camera to the person so that means that you need a lot of space.

When you make a thriller/horror, darkness is [your] friend, because it lets the imagination go wild and what not. So you always end up going into darkness.

You know how hard it is to swim take after take and perform the next day swimming again? Me, I'm a terrible swimmer, but most actors with that tight schedule would be sick pretty quick.

Anamorphic doesn't really lend itself to the big shots.

Obviously in the close-ups we bring extras around or we do it later, but them running in and the big shots, they don't know. They're just coming out.

I think it's very interesting for a director that enjoys thrillers and mysteries like I do to have the challenge to do that.

If you do any thriller or horror movie a big part of the process is accounting for the cell phone.
