Director Statement

"Do not eat...
Taste. Savour. Consider every morsel that enters your mouth. Be mindful. But do not...eat. Our menu is too precious for that."
~ Ralph Fiennes as Chef Slowik (The Menu)

Once my movies make you feel something, my movies have fulfilled their purpose. Or else what's the point?
As much as possible, movies attempt to satisfy each and every one of our human senses.
Therefore, hear; see; taste; smell; and feel my movies.
Movies are to be experienced. Not watched.
Experiences are felt. Not observed.
Art is to be savoured. Not…eaten.
