I like telling the story in a visual way. I don't like explaining a lot in dialogue.

I really wanted to emphasize the idea of the women being isolated and abandoned . . . and they weren't raised to take care of themselves, so they had to learn to survive.

I feel like the internet has encouraged people to look into things and try to find issuesthat because people have a lot of opinions. I think it's really important to encourage artistic freedom. I think if you inhibit that, that could be dangerous.

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.

When I was working on the music for this I didn't want to just use pop songs as the score - most movies do it and I've done it before.

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 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.
