Director Statement

I never try and guess what people want to see; that's setting yourself up to fail. Instead, I try and show people what they haven't seen. I like to take the stories we all know and turn them upside down just when you think you know what's about to happen. Never assume your audience is stupid but always assume that they are bored. Challenge them certainly, but always entertain them.
