The Jemaine [Clement] and Taika works is a very long and slow machine - we put an idea in one end, and it takes about six years to come out the other end. And sometimes it doesn't even come out. And sometimes it comes out as a different idea. So we've out the idea of We're Wolves into the machine, and it's now slowly going through the sausage maker.

Sometimes there are really happy mistakes.

To make filmmaking interesting to me, I want to keep learning things.

The films I like to watch are when they make it relatable to human audiences.

I love heroes that really go through ordeals and then come out the other end completely changed.

I constantly remind myself that there are terrible movies out there. I try to watch them, some of them, to give myself an understanding of what not to do.

Short film: you can be poetic and you don't have to answer anything. You can make whatever you want. You have creative freedom with short film.
