thinking documentaries unexpected
I love the unexpected and I think that's why documentary is an attractive genre to me because you don't know where it's going to go, so I tend to involve that as much as possible in the production process.
thinking order data
I think politicians know how to misrepresent data in order to support a political agenda. Politicians and the people that work for them - I should say - are expert at that.
character stories comedy
I like to approach comedy from character, to have the stakes for the individuals in the story be very high.
real home thinking
I think unintentionally I gravitate towards concepts and topics that hit home or are something real we can all relate to.
reality rooted
The best movies are rooted in reality.
thinking people mortgage
People who can't afford their mortgages and have to renegotiate with the bank or something gets repossessed after you worked your whole life. You follow the rules and you do the right thing and you still get screwed. That's what I think a lot of Americans are.
