What I Do Feel Is

I Think It's A Mistake For Young Filmmakers To Just Buy Digital Equipment And Shoot A Feature. Make Short Films First, Make Your Mistakes And Learn From Them.

When You're Young, You Want To Make Every Kind Of Film: Musicals, Westerns, Horror. Slowly You Begin To Hear Your Own Voice. I Hope People Receive What I Do As Small, Personal Films That Are Somewhat Contrarian About Their Main Characters.

I Remember When I Was Like 19 Years Old And I Started A Desk Calendar Company To Pay For My First Short Film, Just So I Could Say One Day That My Daddy Didn't Pay For My First Short Film. And I Really Established Myself In The Film Festival World.

Growing Up The Son Of A Director Has Made Me Very Aware Of The Various Turns That A Directing Career Can Take. Sometimes Your Films Turn Out Exactly As You Want. Sometimes They Don't. I Spent A Lot Of My Childhood On Sets. I Think As A Joke, My Father Gave Me A Line Of Dialogue In Each Of His Films During The Worst Moments Of My Puberty.

I Think When You Pay Attention To The Shots, You're Aware Of The Fact That There's A Director. Really, It's The Director's Job To Disappear And Allow The Movie To Just Feel.
