I'm from that world where I feel so comfortable making small independent movies.

Giving should be a part of your routine, just like working out, eating, and sleeping.

I storyboard every shot of my thrillers in general. I draw them out and do them.

You don't get to celebrate yourself unless you risk being mocked or rejected. As an artist, you cannot play it safe. You just can't.

I've been asked to direct pilots for a lot of shows.

I think one of my favorite things about making low budget movies is that when you get into expensive moviemaking territory, it's almost impossible not to reverse engineer the movies. It's irresponsible not to think about the result and the financial result. But when you make low budget movies, you can put that out of your head.

My directing style is long takes. The longer take I can do, the more I can think of not doing it in cuts, the better.
