For me, The Kite Runner became about a guy who’s emotionally shut down because he hasn’t confronted his past.

Contrastingly to the new model of distribution, we shot Hand of God using the traditional format of film. I myself use very few apps and tend not to engage in social media. I do use Instagram under my production company's name, but that's it.

The key thing is that you start every film from sort of a blank page, almost like you discover it like a child discovers a new world.
