What I Do Feel Is

Comedy And Horror Are Cousins; They're Related. They Both Come From Storytellers Who Want To Specifically Affect The Audience And Elicit Specific Reactions During The Movie.

And Over The Course Of The Last Six Years, As I've Directed More Features And Commercials, I've Become Better At Articulating Exactly How I Want The Audience To Feel.

As Far As Writing, I Like Watching Bad Movies. Nothing Stops Me In My Tracks More Than Watching A Great Film Like 'the Godfather' Or 'dog Day Afternoon' Or 'the Graduate.' You Watch One Of Those, And You Never Want To Write Again. Whereas With Bad Movies, It Makes You Think, If That Counts, I Certainly Could Write.

And As A Director, You Make 1,000 Decisions A Day, Mostly Binary Decisions: Yes Or No, This One Or That One, The Red One Or The Blue One, Faster Or Slower. And It's The Culmination Of Those Decisions That Define The Tone Of The Film And Whether Or Not It Moves People.
