What I realized is that it doesn't matter how big or small your film is. The actual filmmaking process, the actual storytelling, it's still the same thing. It's still all about creating characters that you like and creating moments that get you excited or get you tense.

The thing I've come to learn is that what's great about small independent films is the intimacy and the communication that occurs when you're making them.

I think it's important to do smaller films because I think that's where a lot of new things are happening.

Sometimes people say to you that you should try to be in a bigger film, but it's the way it pans out.

I can't say that I wouldn't prefer to make small films, basically because I think they are probably more interesting in terms of the material. But every now and again, it's quite good to do a big one.

It seems that the small movies are a little more risky and cutting-edge. You've got your big commerce and you've got your small films that you're more passionate about.

I love being able to change from big films to small films.

Ultimately, the film industry has always pushed out its biggies, and I don't have a problem with that. I just wish that we'd spend more time nurturing the smaller ones.

I love doing short films because they're much more intimate and there's far less waiting around than on the bigger films.

When you're making a bigger movie, you have much bigger set pieces that require more time and more effort and more people.
