In animation, there's this exhilarating moment of discovery when you see the film and you say, Oh THAT'S what I was doing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A big part of my filmmaking is that I can go somewhere new and, visually, be excited by it.
That's what film can do in a way that TV and other long-form storytelling can't. It gives you this very immersive moment.
Before I film a movie, I look at how the character will move and walk.
I think there's a real joy in going to see movies when you discover them yourself.
It's one thing to plan and imagine what you want on a film, but when you actually arrive and survey the scene, there's a moment of, 'Oh my God, what was I thinking?'
I have this thing that, once I finish a movie, I never see it again.
There's always that moment on every movie where you just go, 'Okay, this is that moment. I'm about to potentially fall flat on my face, and I might as well just dive in and see what happens.'
I miss animation very passionately. Not continuously, but every once in a while I would die to do another film.
I'm developing the stuff all the time. There's a film in my head. I'm imagining a film.
The whole point of film for me is that it's such a joy. It's such a wonder. The possibilities are literally endless in terms of what you can creatively do.
