I Feel Like All Of My Characters

Over The Years Woodstock Got Glorified And Romanticised And Became The Event That Symbolised Utopia. It's The Last Page Of Our Collective Memory Of The Age Of Innocence. Then Things Turned Ugly And Would Never Be The Same Again.

You Become The Movie You Are Making.

I Took The Name Green Destiny From - Well There Is Such A Sword Called Green Destiny. It Is Green Because You Keep Twisting It, It's An Ancient Skill, You Keep Twisting It And Knocking It And Twisting It Until It Is Very Elastic And Light.

I Think Doing Period Piece Is Easier, Because After A Certain Distance, Everybody Is Equal, I Think. The Relative Contemporary Is Harder. I Think That's The Way It Is.

Making This Movie As A Period Piece About A Period That Was Very Recent In People's Minds. I Was In Taiwan [during The 1970s], So I Hope I Did All Right. Otherwise, It Could Be The Biggest Embarrassment Of My Life. Also, The Story Is Not Linear, It's Patchy, Like A Cubist Painting, And There Is Always The Possibility It Will Not Hold Together, It Will Fall Apart. The Tone Is Part Satire, Part Serious Drama, Part Tragedy, All Mixed Together, And It Has To Hit An Emotional Core. That's Also Very Scary.
