I Feel The Need To

My Father Was An Amateur Filmmaker Who Shot 8mm Color Documentaries.

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.

I Am Always More Interested In Performance And Character Depiction, And My Direction Says As Much.

My Father Would Tell Anyone Who Would Listen That This Dentist Thing He Was Doing Was Not His Passion; Cinematography Was.

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.
