Gory stuff can be shocking but it doesnโt really scare me. Iโd say the kind of stuff that gets under my skin is the unknown. You hear a knock behind a wall and you donโt know what it is. Is there something there or not?
Oren PeliI don't know if I would say that I'm specifically a history buff. I do find a lot of things fascinating, especially anything that's bizarre or mysterious and unknown and we don't have all the answers for.
Oren PeliI feel like when you do things with such a small budget, it actually makes you be more creative... and allows you to concentrate more on the story and the characters. I think that there is something about dirty, gritty and raw filmmaking that makes it feel a little more natural and makes it easier to connect with the action.
Oren PeliBy trade, I am a software programmer, so I never really had any experience with movies before. I started out with 'Paranormal Activity.
