I'm really proud of Blair Witch Project as a film, but as far as the cultural phenomenon of it - that was just weird luck.

In horror, character development is often pushed aside in favor of the shock value. The best genre movies to me are movies like The Shining. You had a connection to the characters in that film.

Being behind a camera, in front of the camera, is my own little deconstructionist niche.

The first thing I do when I read a part is see if I can identify emotionally with a character. If I make that connection, everything else is just working on knowing their life circumstances and manifesting those through practice and research.

I ultimately have faith though, that good films will find their audience.

We hit a stride where all self-consciousness disappeared.

I've done almost 20 films and I still worry about not finding the next one.
