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.

Actors are professionals who deal with people's emotions and their thoughts.

I am sure I am one of 2000 film directors in the world that Tarantino admires.

There's a humble beauty about listening to period instruments that I like.

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

I've always had an interest in vampire films - not just 'Nosferatu,' but there are many others that I have enjoyed: Abel Ferrara,Coppola, Neil Jordan.

I'd like to do a really masculine film.
