I definitely storyboard, but I only start once I have cast and location. I like to find the world first.

The way I work is I like to immerse myself in the world of the film and in the character's lives, and then from that, I get a lot of ideas of how the film could be made, how it could be told.

That was his first start and he was sharp.

I only make storyboards for action scenes. Once you make a storyboard, you don't film; it can be a stiff move.

I like to be involved with the scriptwriter early on, helping shape the story, and working out how the story can be told directorially.

Definitely. I want to start somewhere, so I'm going to be going after a spot. When I first got here, we were getting hit really hard by the probation. Now we're starting to bounce back a little bit. All this competition is only going to make us better.
