I Make My Living Doing Freelance Directing

I’m Armenian, And April 24th Was Another Commemoration Of The Genocide Of Armenia People By Turkey. The Perpetrator Never Admitted The Crime. I Was Raised With That, This Question: How Do You Actually Find The Truth Of Such A Traumatic Event? I'm Obsessed With That Issue.

We're Lucky To Be Making Films. My Crew And I Have Been Working Together For A Long Time. I Think That That's What Emanates.

As A Producer, I Think One Of The Most Important Decisions You Make Is Not Necessarily The Material You Are Working On But The Production Apparatus That You Choose To Develop The Project With, And That Determines What Funding You Go To, It Determines Many Factors.

The Directing Process Is Often A Continuation Of The Writing. This Is Just A Different Skill-set.

Though I Am Still Very Vulnerable To Audiences—and It Happens All The Time - Where For Some Reason The Energy Doesn’t Connect And, Since The Film Is Very Personal, Obviously I Am Made To Feel Very Vulnerable By That.
