I began to exercise a lot of cinematic muscle with the precepts I had learned in the New York art world. Film was intriguing. I began to think of art as elitist, whereas film was not.

I'm drawn to provocative characters that find themselves in extreme situations. And I think I'm drawn to that consistently.

Character and emotionality don't always have to be relegated to quieter, more simple constructs.

I'm drawn to filmmaking that can transport me. Film can immerse you, put you there.

Something becomes personal when it deviates from the norm.
