A TV show where all of the characters are trying to figure out what's going on, and the suspense of that, fits my [voice] really well. You feel their frustration, anger and fear, and then, when the reveal happens, their sense of dread or horror, or whatever it is, and I like to paint with those colors.

I like to write in a shroud of secrecy because I have to keep finding ways to scare myself.

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

I love 'The Killing', I love 'Homeland' and 'Mad Men', all those shows that lean into the tone of things.

I had a desire to do TV and wanted to get in, in the right way, knowing that I was going to learn a lot, along the way.

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

I'm so consistent that my director's cuts are usually 20-25 minutes longer than the released version of the movies.
