I Want My Movies To Be Audience

Growing Up The Son Of A Director Has Made Me Very Aware Of The Various Turns That A Directing Career Can Take. Sometimes Your Films Turn Out Exactly As You Want. Sometimes They Don't. I Spent A Lot Of My Childhood On Sets. I Think As A Joke, My Father Gave Me A Line Of Dialogue In Each Of His Films During The Worst Moments Of My Puberty.
