There's no staying where you were. If you're not doing anything, your skills and point of view are atrophying.

I consider myself an independent filmmaker.

My philosophy is to make movies with the biggest possible budget that will allow it to be made in an independent fashion.

Saw #‎ Birdman . Such singular, audacious filmmaking. Can't stop thinking about the ending.

I try to take B genre movies and treat them as if they're A dramas. Get the cinematographers, get the actors to do an A drama, but it just happens to be about aliens or ghosts or crazy people, or killers, or whatever it is.

Is it possible that there are no coincidences?

Sometimes we do not do things that we wish to do, so others will not know that we wish to do them.
