Then I became interested in drama, and almost by accident, I drifted into film.

I started using film as part of live theatre performance - what used to be called performance art - and I became intrigued by film.

Obviously, I try to make the films work for an audience. That's the main point of making a film, and in retrospect, one can see that certain films, let's say Leaving Las Vegas, demonstrated its own success.

I like to work my camera as if it were a musical instrument.

I play piano and trumpet. I studied classical guitar.

I am intrigued enough to want to continue, and also to try and work with companies like Sony on modifying the cameras and making them more user-friendly and efficient.
