I really didn't know what I wanted to do. I went to art school and tried a bunch of different things, but I knew I wanted to do something in the visual arts. And I'd always been around my dad's film sets, so the interest was there. But I didn't have the guts to say, "I want to be a director," especially coming from that family.

I like amateur things.

I like doing personal films, after doing a bigger movie, I enjoy doing smaller, intimate films.

I've always written my own scripts, I really like doing everything from the beginning and taking it all the way through, I've probably learned that from my dad.

I love that feeling of when it's touching and it makes you happy but there's a melancholy or bittersweet glaze to it.

I think I'm always drawn to projects that help me understand something about myself.

A lot of young filmmakers bring their movies to my dad because he always gives lots of good editing ideas and notes. He'd be a good film professor.
