Generally I just pick music that I like. That's the part I really enjoy: When I get permission for the songs I want and put them into the scenes. It's always hard when you're doing a low-budget film, so it's great when you can get all the music you want to get.

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

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

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.

I think anything you do that's different, that doesn't take the typical approach, invites differing opinions.

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.

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.
