I want people to have a new way of looking at the world when they leave the theater.

My work is not for everyone, but I think if people give it a try, they may be surprised by how entertaining it is.

While the creative aspects of my filmmaking style are challenging in their own ways, I have developed such confidence and passion over the years that it has become much easier.

I definitely find the technical aspects of post-production generally quite overwhelming.

It is vitally important that you prioritize your film and use your time and energy and resources to make it happen. Stop waiting for things to fall into place. Start doing things right now to make it happen.

I find that I always also manage to incorporate a simultaneous reflection on cinema history into my films.

Stop helping everyone else make their films, and enlist them to help you make yours. This is an exaggeration, but the point is - you are the one person who cares the most about your project, so you have to take the leadership in driving it forward.
