I Always Wanted 'sideways' To Be Like

In Real Life, I Myself Am Kind Of A Rambling Guy. I Like To Travel.

Independent Means One Thing To Me: It Means That Regardless Of The Source Of Financing, The Director's Voice Is Extremely Present. It's Such A Pretentious Term, But It's Auteurist Cinema. Director-driven, Personal, Auteurist... Whatever Word You Want. It's Where You Feel The Director, Not A Machine, At Work. It Doesn't Matter Where The Money Comes From. It Matters How Much Freedom The Director Has To Work With His Or Her Team. That's How I Personally Define Independent Movies.

I Still Have Energy And Some Degree Of Youth, Which Is What A Filmmaker Needs.

I Like Action Films, Not Exclusively, But I Like Samurai Films. I Like Westerns. Not So Much War Pictures, But A Few. I Like Kinetic Cinema.

A Lot Of People Get Stuck, Like, "oh, If It's Made By A Studio, It Can't Be Independent." Often They Link It To The Source Of Financing, Or How It's Distributed, But I Don't Really Know How You Can. A Filmmaker Will Take His Money From Anywhere. It Doesn't Matter.
