Film is endlessly just beyond your reach. I think that's what I love so much about it.

Humans are vulnerable, messy little animals and that's normal. And all I want to do is make a space for that in my films.

As someone who grew up in a house where there wasn't a lot of talking, I'm used to just looking at the world. And in general I often feel like I just don't understand what's happening. That everybody else does, but I don't quite get it.

People ask 'How does doing a film compare to doing an ad?' Well, when you're doing a commercial you don't have to sell tickets. You have a captured audience. Which is actually completely rare and great; it gives you a lot of freedom. When you make a film, you have to do advertisements for the film.

I was so happy with my bow ties from the last kickstarted project that I'm back for more.

To me, sadness and humor aren't disrelated and humor is the best tool I've had against the sadness in my life.

There's some movies I watch, they're kind of like my anti-anxiety pill, my anti-depressant pill. I watch them at least once or twice a month probably. And I never stop learning from them as a filmmaker.
