It's about moments in life that are great but don't last. They don't go on, but you always have the memory and they have an effect on you. That's what I was thinking about.

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

I try to always be open to what the actors want to try. I don't storyboard and try to be intuitive and open on the day of filming.

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.

There's something about being a teenager that's so sincere. Everything is more epic, like your first crush. I feel that it's not always portrayed very accurately.

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.

We were always around my dad, so he wasn't absentee at all. I don't think it was normal, but it was exciting. You always had lots of creative people around, and my parents took us everywhere.
