Making a film, it uses a certain... 'pretend-muscle,' I don't know what you want to call it. It exhausts something in me, I find. It has to be really something to get me interested.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Often, when I finish a film, I'll have that feeling inside me: 'I never want to do this ever again. I don't want to pretend anymore. I want to be myself and do that.'
Sometimes I think of movie acting as advanced pretend.
Action films have a certain illogicalness to them. They're what we call, when we're working, 'exaggerated realism.'
I've got one idea I want to do for a film and you know I just enjoy myself doing bits and pieces.
There is certainly a part of my filmmaking that harkens to a more simpler commercial kind of taste, but then with this there's certainly a kind of avant-garde, abstract, existential element to it.
I kind of make a film for myself to sort of express myself.
I'd like to act in a film without special effects.
Genre aside, I'd like to make a film about people.
I'm working in a form of cinema that can be described, and has been described, as a diaristic form of cinema. In other words, with material from my own life. I walk through life with my camera, and occasionally I film. I never think about scripts, never think about films, making films.
I never thought I would say this, but I'm desperate to do an action film.
