I think too many film students in America are losing the artistry and not learning lighting the right way.

I always try to tell the story the best possible way. I create the mood for each scene in a way that the audience feels that they are right there with me and they feel actually in the mood that was right for the scene.

I love to make movies about young people - young scientists that are inventing things and all the writing they did was very funny and very true.

There are many, many different kinds of movies and directors and styles. I don't mind that a movie looks like a movie.

I'm always looking for directors who are very strong, they have great ideas, but on the other hand, that need help. It means they rely mostly on my eyes.

There is something more to "reality" than just the tangible. There is also mood, and you cannot skip that.

Each story has a different approach for me and I try to work with lighting that will tell you visually the story better than if it was shot in available light.
