It's Nice To Be Taken Seriously.

I'm Supporting An Up-and-coming Director. It's The Time In My Life That I Want To Share What I Know And Pass It Along.

I'm Looking At Some Comedic Horror Films Because I Have Often Been Accused Of Being Too Dark. I'm Not Dark, Not Compared With 'saw' Or Anything Like That. So I'm Looking At Live-action Horror Films, But Not Slasher Ones - Ones That Have Humor And Maybe Some Social Satire.

'coraline' Is Neil Gaiman's Book, It Sold A Lot, It Has A Big Fan Base. It Was Originally Conceived To Be Live Action, But I Never Really Wanted It To Be. I Always Thought That It Would Work Better As An Animated Film.

Every Kid Has A Toy That They Believe Is Their Best Friend, That They Believe Communicates With Them, And They Imagine It Being Alive, Their Toy Horse Or Car Or Whatever It Is. Stop-motion Is The Only Medium Where We Literally Can Make A Toy Come To Life, An Actual Object.

I Love All Sorts Of Animation, Probably The Most Beautiful Would Be The Tradtional Hand Drawn Animation That Disney Is Known For. Stop-motion Has A Certain "grittieness" And Is Filled With Imperfections, And Yet Their Is An Undeniable Truth, That What You See Really Exits, Even It If Is Posed By Hand, 24 Times A Second. This Truth Is What I Find Most Attractive About Stop-motion Animation.
