Independent Filmmaking Has Always Been There And

Independent Filmmaking Has Always Been There And It's Not To Be Forgotten.

I Make Films Because I Am Endlessly Fascinated By People. I'm Fascinated Immediately To Know About The Lives That Are Going On Around Me. That Is What Drives Me. And That Is Because Everybody Matters, Everybody Is There To Be Cared About, Everybody Is Interesting And Everybody Is The Potential Central Character In A Story. Judging People Is Not Acceptable.

It Creeps Up On You And Becomes An Obsession. It Comes Out Of Watching A Million Movies.

It's An Unhealthy Habit To Say That Life Is What You Make Of It, And If You Want To Be Happy, Then You Can Be Happy. That's Just Rubbish, Basically.

A Lot Of The Reasons That I'm Resistant To Making Films In The U.s. Have Nothing To Do With Not Doing A Film In Hollywood, But Rather To Do With What I'm Committed To Working On In The U.k. I Feel Very Committed To The British Film Industry And Infrastructure.
