When you're doing a film, narrative is your most important tool, but it's a tool to create a cinematographic experience, to create those moments that are beyond narrative, that are almost an abstraction of that moment that hits your psyche.

Movie-making is telling a story with the best technology at your disposal.

It's amazing what you can do without in terms of filmmaking when a story is really important.

I want to figure out what comes after cinema as the gold standard for storytelling.

When I approach a story or movie, the story is the most important thing.

For me, the filmmaking has to be about the dramaturgy.

I think film, to me, as a director, is about telling a story.

Film is the medium for communicating not just ideas, but things of the heart.

I'd like to think that we strive in film and theatre to tell great stories, and I believe in the power of storytelling in our culture.

Filmmaking is a very complex form - ya know, acting, lighting, screenwriting, storytelling, music, editing - all these things have to come together.
