want seven
I always have a backlog of like seven movies that I want to make.
watches trailers
I don't watch trailers, I like to go into every movie fresh.
religious art men
That's the thing about a folk tale: It is always addressing incredibly key issues about how you should live and what the right thing to do is, which is really what I'm the most interested in - like the questions that religion takes on. And I think that, for those of us that aren't religious, we need, or I need, art that stimulates the same kind of thinking about what it is to be a mensch, or a good man, things like that.

casting locals
Local casting is just something I love doing.

I've always loved movies, since I was a little kid, but I never wanted to be part of that industry. It always seemed horrifying, the way films were made.
