It’s about misunderstandings between people and places, being disconnected and looking for moments of connection. There are so many moments in life when people don’t say what they mean, when they are just missing each other, waiting to run into each other in a hallway.

I think being mediocre and in the middle would be the worst. It's more interesting to get strong reactions, and to have the mixture of people who get it and the people who don't get it. And to invite a dialogue.

Acting isn't for me. I don't like being told what to do. I'm more interested in set design, more visually driven.

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

I never studied directing and I never really thought about doing it, and then I just found myself in that situation and tried it. I like to be observing everything else, and I get self-conscious in front of the camera.

I always like to keep the budget as small as possible just to have the most freedom.

I definitely have had friendships and moments with people from different backgrounds and in different stages of their lives.
