I love my stories being multi-layered, and coming at it from different angles, so that you don't understand the film's true emotional motivation until the very end.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
All directors are storytellers, so the motivation was to tell the story I wanted to tell. That's what I love.
I like stories that have a social impact and social attributes to them. That's the whole reason we make films: to broaden our limited view of things and to see how life is evolving elsewhere.
I love movies. And I dig a great love story: the kind that wrecks me, then builds me back up and leaves me inspired. I write what I want to see.
I think I try to look at all my films and break them down because, at the end of the day, it's about creating characters that you like.
Sometimes you read a script, and you just think, 'Wow, I would love to go and tell that story, and I don't even care what happens to the film, I would just love that experience.' And often, that mentality makes a great film.
What I love about film is that everybody often connects to something so different, and things you couldn't anticipate when you were making the film, so you just make it as honest as possible.
A lot of the struggle I had with movies is I really loved moments and tones and feelings in a scene, and I loved creating those, but I never really had great stories to string them together.
I tend to favour films that have multiple plot and story lines, multiple characters and ensemble pieces.
I enjoy scenes in films, which do not have the pressure of the story so much... and it flows. I've tried to go in that direction.
The stories that I like to tell and the movies I like are always grounded in the emotional arc of the characters.
