I've been wanting for some time to find a way of stylizing cinema and trying to get closer to the emotional story I was telling and get rid of all the bumph that goes with it and allow the audience a more participatory experience. It was an attempt to do all of those things and to express the idea that all these people were just performing roles in their lives.

I've been lucky over the past few years. Things have just happened for me.

Generally, I've never known quite how to fit in in civilian life, but on set, making a film, I know exactly where to go, how to behave and how I fit.

I couldn't be a cameraman or a designer or an actor - I have to be a director because I learned how to do that from my dad.

My first cut that I showed the studio was probably 2hrs 20min.

I think maybe I might tackle something that doesn't reach down to a very, very young audience, like more of a kind of teenager and upwards.

I like the idea of doing something outside my comfort zone.
