Film Is Endlessly Just Beyond Your Reach.

My Experience, With Both My Parents, Is That Grief Has A Lot Of Down, Sad Things, But I Was Also Really Emotionally Raw, In The First Year After Each Of Them Passed. Flowers Smelled More Intensely, My Relationships Were Hotter, And I Was More Willing To Risk. I Was Going For It A Lot More. I Was 'unsober' And I Wasn't Playing By My Rules.

No One Leaves The Edit Room Thinking, 'yeah, I Nailed That One!' Everyone I Know Goes Into Their First Premiere Or Their First Screening Thinking, 'i Screwed Up So Bad. I'm Sorry, I Messed Up.' It's Just A Real Common Feeling.

Over And Over Again, I'm Trying To Express Or Communicate These Big And Small Struggles To The World, And Really To Myself.

Film Is Endlessly Just Beyond Your Reach. I Think That's What I Love So Much About It.

If You Ask Me, The Place That A Story Happens Is As Equal Character. It's Almost Like An Ecological Viewpoint: These People Are Living In This Piece Of Land, And In This Piece Of Land In This Time This Is Possible. For Me, I Almost Think Location First. It's Time First - What Year Is It - Then Where Are We, And Then Who Is In It.
