Everyone in my family is in the film business; I knew I wanted to be creative and it was important in my family to be artistic.

Forget the audience, make what you want to see

When you're making a film you're thinking about how to tell the story visually.

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'm always a sucker for a love story.

I try to just make what I want to make or what I would want to see. I try not to think about the audience too much.

It’s always more intriguing to imagine what’s happening, as opposed to seeing everything, because then you can use your imagination. I always wanted to be at a distance.
