In Korea is what I do is I watch the playback of each take with all of the actors and spend a lot of time discussing each take. Also, I use the process we call auto-assembly because I storyboard my entire film right at the beginning, even before pre-production ever begins, so my vision is already laid out on the storyboard for everybody to share. It enables the on-set assembly person, as we call them, to cut together each take into a sequence. This enables a director to review the take within the context of the sequence of the scene.

Whenever I visit a city, I like to see what classical music concerts are on offer.

If you would ask me what my ideal process is, I would say, long pre-production, long production and long post-production.

I do like musical films more than big Hollywood films, especially those by Jacques Demi and Vincent Minelli.

I believe there are more films that involve love and forgiveness than violence, but they often seem fake and are almost embarrassing to watch.

Becoming a vampire means completely changing your identity.

I believe 'love' is very nice to hear, but it's used so much that it's come to a point where it's almost meaningless.
