To See My Wife Getting Inspired From

It Was Important On The Shipping News To Have My House Far Enough Away From Each Location So I Had This Time In The Morning To Think About My Shots And Still Remain Open To Surprises Once I Got To The Set.

Abba: The Movie; I Got A Lot Of Grief For Working On That.

I Discovered The 7th Art At Home When I Was Kid, Through Charlie Chaplin's Movies And Those Of My Father Who Shot Documentaries. He Was My Biggest Influence. So I Took His Camera And Started Shooting.

I Always Need A Couple Of Highlights To Really Spark The Passion For A Project.

To Make A Movie Charming, You Have To Be Playful On All Levels And Open To Ideas, And You Have To Have An Idea For How To Do That Within The Confines Of The Shooting Schedule And Editing And All That.
