I Always Find Myself Gravitating To The

One Of The Things You Do As A Writer And As A Filmmaker Is Grasp For Resonant Symbols And Imagery Without Necessarily Fully Understanding It Yourself.

Yeah, It's Odd When You Look Back At Your Own Work. Some Filmmakers Don't Look Back At Their Work At All. I Look At My Work A Lot, Actually. I Feel Like I Learned Something While Looking At Stuff I've Done In Terms Of What I'm Going To Do In The Future, Mistakes I've Made And Things At Work Or What Have You.

The Film That Really Struck Me Was Ridley Scott's Blade Runner. That Was A Film I Watched Many, Many Times And Found Endlessly Fascinating In It's Density. I Think The Density Of That Film Is Primarily Visual Density, Atmospheric, Sound Density, Moreso Than Narrative Density.

The Real Truth Of That Is That Much As You Want To Believe That It's You Being On Top Of Everything, You're Actually Relying Massively On The People Around You.

What I React Against In Other People's Work, As A Filmgoer, Is When I See Something In A Movie That I Feel Is Supposed To Make Me Feel Emotional, But I Don't Believe The Filmmaker Shares That Emotion. They Just Think The Audience Will. And I Think You Can Feel That Separation. So Any Time I Find Myself Writing Something That I Don't Really Respond To, But I'm Telling Myself, 'oh Yes, But The Audience Is Going To Like This,' Then I Know I'm On The Wrong Track And I Just Throw It Out.
