Grief and memory go together. After someone dies, that's what you're left with. And the memories are so slippery yet so rich.

The oldest sibling always knows things that the younger ones don't.

I pretty much believe that a film is a film and when an audience watches a film, they finish 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.

If you ask me, the place that a story happens is as equal character. It's almost like an ecological viewpoint: These people are living in this piece of land, and in this piece of land in this time this is possible. For me, I almost think location first. It's time first - what year is it - then where are we, and then who is in it.

I'm not a craftsman of graphics or art or film. I'm more of an idea generator and manufacturer.

I don't really believe that documentary is objective reality and fiction is all illusion.
