It takes a long time to get a film made.

I think films have to reach people and really grab them. That's what I hope to do when I make a film - to get under your skin and really make you think about something, and have a transporting time that takes you somewhere.

Making a film, every film, is a big gamble, large or small. The more that you do it, the more you're aware of that.

There's always gonna be people with a lot of money making film, and the goal is to make profit and carry on. It is a business. The goal is to make a living doing it and to be comfortable.

The motivation for making movies is that people actually see them.

There is an audience out there for literate films - slower, more observant, more human films, and they deserve to be made.

Filmmaking is a real craft.

As long as you keep your budgets small, there's a way of making films.

I think the problem I have with films is that, because there's so much hype around them, they become bigger than they should be, really. There are things that people do every day in their little workshops that they'll take to heaven with them. You've got to realise that it's not everything, making films.

Producing small films, you usually have four or five people you want, and you hope one of them will say they'll do it.
