As a writer-director, I work in a social realist vein, supported by research. I like the thrillers from the 70s where you have to work to decipher the image and listen to understand the dialog. I like actors you've never seen before, who sometimes aren't even actors. I work slowly, and I wouldn't work at all if someone else made the movies I want to see. I like movies that don't entertain, make you feel good or tell you what to think; you could call this a stoic comedy.
