I like high impact movies.

The journey for women, no matter what venue it is - politics, business, film - it's, it's a long journey.

I need to have my hands on the DNA of a film.

Our film examines the heroism, courage and prowess of the Soviet submarine force in ways never seen before.

I don't want to be made pacified or made comfortable. I like stuff that gets your adrenaline going.

I realised that there's a more muscular approach to film-making that I found very inspiring.

I choose material instinctually - at the heart of it are characters that I feel are fresh and original, and allow for an opportunity to, I suppose, explore uncharted ground.
