There are some sequences in films that I think work filmicly, that stand out to me, but thats much more to do with the staging and the cutting and the mood of the thing as a sequence, the way everything comes together.

Maybe that sounds a bit pretentious, but I think life experience is always more important than technical knowledge.

Every shot I have ever made has been a compromise in some way. No image has ever been as good as the one I envisioned in my mind's eye.

The balance of the frame - the way an actor is relating to the space in the frame - is the most important factor in helping the audience feel what the character is thinking.

I am concerned that the subtlety is being lost and every film tends to look very contrasty and saturated.

I loved movies ever since I was a kid.
