Even if I'd had a really happy relationship with my father and there was no emotional hiatus for a decade and a half, I probably would still have made some of the same choices for movies that I've made.
And I may often question choices I make as a producer. But I've never questioned the choices I make as a director.
I have a choice - I can either watch all the dailies, or I can follow the social media. I can't do both.
When my children were born, I made the choice I wanted them to be raised as Jews and to have a Jewish education.
I had no choice. It was just something that happened. I was always looking for ways to act out, and I got a camera and it acted out for me.
Tracking action without cutting is the least jarring method of placing the audience into a real-time experience where they are the ones making the subtle choices of where and when to look.
