My interest in filmmaking was always very much the visuals and images.

All my film ideas and subjects have come from photography.

I always saw photography as a way to get to film.

I had no education in filmmaking. I started with a 8mm camera. I made 34 films, and little by little I gained more experience in filming.

I try to do as much as I can, every facet of filmmaking.

I was going to go to a four-year college and be an anthropologist or to an art school and be an illustrator when a friend convinced me to learn photography at the University of Southern California. Little did I know it was a school that taught you how to make movies! It had never occurred to me that I'd ever have any interest in filmmaking.

I thought of learning cinematography, so I assisted a cinematographer for an ad.

I always wanted to be a filmmaker and became one through sheer single-mindedness. I came to filmmaking from a background in graphic design. I went to film school at Newcastle Polytechnic.

I definitely in filmmaking more and more find writing and directing a means to harvest material for editing. It's all about editing.

I view filmmaking as a director's medium.
