I Pretty Much Believe That A Film

Humans Are Vulnerable, Messy Little Animals And That's Normal. And All I Want To Do Is Make A Space For That In My Films.

I Pretty Much Believe That A Film Is A Film And When An Audience Watches A Film, They Finish It.

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.

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.

People Ask 'how Does Doing A Film Compare To Doing An Ad?' Well, When You're Doing A Commercial You Don't Have To Sell Tickets. You Have A Captured Audience. Which Is Actually Completely Rare And Great; It Gives You A Lot Of Freedom. When You Make A Film, You Have To Do Advertisements For The Film.
