“I worked with Michelle Yeoh on my last film, 'Far North,' and her partner is Jean Todt; at the time, he ran Ferrari. So I went as a VIP to the British grand prix.”
“As much as I love creating entertaining visuals, I love toying with the pace of a movie and trying to perfect that. It's imperative to the impact: faster cuts, cuts at the right moments that meld with the tenor of a scene. Creating and maintaining that feeling.”
“There's this great TV show we have called 'Later... with Jools Holland', a live-music show on Friday nights. Anyone and everyone's been on it.”
“I want to make my own films from my own scripts based on stories I want to tell, but they take time to put together.”
“I love telling stories with images. But I think there's more to just saying a movie is great visually.”
“I made several short films with very little dialogue. I'm still not a fan of talking heads. My stories are told with images as much as possible.”
“I studied graphic design originally. I used to like drawing, and I was quite into technical drawing. I was always interested in the visual medium, but I thought I was going to be an architect or something like that, but it's quite a lonely job.”
“We were studying at Newport Film School, and I found that the only way for me to make films - because you need people and you need equipment - was that I had to be a student.”
“My interest in filmmaking was always very much the visuals and images.”
“I like to make films where I learn along the way, like the audience.”
“Hopefully with digital projection, a film will always look the way the filmmaker intended.”
