One day I had an idea for a movie. Everything came after that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For me, I get a part of an idea here and a little bit of an idea there, and then finally it accumulates into a movie.
As I get on and films take four years to complete, I tend to have a hankering for very short projects so you can move on to the next idea. It's the ideas I'm interested in. What comes out of your head.
My films usually start with an idea that I get while walking the streets. For example, I got the idea for 'Guard Dog' when I was walking in the park and I saw a dog barking at a bird.
When you make a film you usually make a film about an idea.
Sometimes I get an idea for cinema. And when you get an idea that you fall in love with, this is a glorious day.
I don't have a drawer full of ideas. I kind of look around and take notes and wonder what could actually be a whole movie. And each time, I think I'm going to do it more commercial this time; I'm going to get a big budget and make it. But I always come up with some small idea.
I always wanted to make movies.
When I was about 10 or 11, I realised that people made movies; until then, I had thought they just happened.
For seven years, I made films in the cinema verite tradition - photographing what was happening without manipulating it. Then I realised I wanted to make things happen for myself, through feature films.
It is the idea that it's a movie in a movie. So I did it.
