Most of my films have been documentaries, but I'm also very interested in narrative filmmaking.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Documentaries have always inspired me in narrative filmmaking.
Whatever storytelling muscles you've developed as a documentary filmmaker will be extremely helpful as a narrative filmmaker.
I really want to do film, but I want to do the right film. The truth for me is that I'm really driven by stories. So there are stories I want to tell, and if it's a good story then I want to do it, whatever genre it is.
As I get older, I'm looking more and more for films that are actually about something rather than just narrative vehicles.
I went to University College London and read English literature, then realised if you were interested in story and narrative, film was the way to go.
I want to put everything I think I've learned about filmmaking and storytelling and put it to the test in other areas.
I am a student of cinema, and I love filmmaking of all kinds.
I'm not one of those people who sees documentaries as a stepping stone to doing fiction. I love documentaries and watch tons of documentaries. But, I like fiction films a lot, too.
You can construct whatever story you want to. Documentaries are constructions, as is all journalism.
I've always been a fiction filmmaker and I've been heading in the direction of fiction filmmaking, doing documentaries along the way.
