“Once you change the technology - from a film camera to a video camera, or from an 8-mm camera to 16 mm - you change completely the content.

“Pretty early on in making the first movie I realized that this is what I wanted to do. I felt like by that time I just found my niche, like this is what I was supposed to be doing.
