I Don't Know Why I'm Drawn To

I'm Really Specific In The Way That I Shoot. I've Always Had A Very Good Sense Of What I Need In The Editing Room. I Used To Shoot In A Way That Drew More Attention To The Camera And I've Tried, In Each Film, To Draw Less And Less Attention To The Camera. I Think When You Pay Attention To The Shots, You're Aware Of The Fact That There's A Director.

Things Like Facebook Have Made You Feel As Though You're Connected To Everybody. You've Got A Thousand Friends On Facebook, But You Don't Actually Talk To Anybody. You're Not Close To Anybody.

And I Certainly Like Being On A Plane, Next To A Stranger, Having Conversations That You'd Never Otherwise Have. You're Unplugged, Your Phone Doesn't Work, You're Not Online.

Selfishness, Narcissism, Being Uncomfortable In Your Own Skin, Not Feeling Connected To The World Around You, Feeling Dislocated From Family And Youth, Having A Strange Relationship With Your Childhood - All Those Things Feel Really True To Me.

I Want My Movies To Be Audience Experiences. As Much As I Like Michael Haneke, I'm Not Going To Make A Haneke Film. That's Just Not In My Dna.
