Yes, sir, a patrol car came and took me down to a station where they were trying to develop films, but they hadn't got the facilities to develop colored film.

I loved being behind the scenes and finding out how they make movies.

Of course, like all film-makers I've been mesmerised by cinema since I was a child.

I consider all my films experiments.

I just finished a Jackie Chan movie, yes. That was an experience. I can mark that off on my bucket list.

I'd made these experimental films but I thought the major chore of a filmmaker was to relate to actors.

Film, for me, has been a process of learning on the job.

I love films for the fact that it is like working under a microscope. It is sort of like a laboratory.

I did The Newton Boys and during the whole process of making the film, I may have spent a week in Los Angeles.

So as I was growing up, my father was always in the middle of making a film or preparing a film. It was a full-time, all-consuming type of operation.
