Young Film Makers Should Learn How To

Any Film, Or To Me Any Creative Endeavour, No Matter Who You're Working With, Is, In Many Cases, A Wonderful Experience.

I Loved The Idea Of Seeing The World Through A Boy's Eyes.

My Father Had This Mythological Sense Of The Old New York, And He Used To Tell Me Stories About These Old Gangs, Particularly The Forty Thieves In The Fourth Ward.

It Did Remind Me Of Something Out Of Greek Mythology - The Richest King Who Gets Everything He Wants, But Ultimately His Family Has A Curse On It From The Gods.

For Me, The Key Image Is The Boat Coming Through The Fog At The Beginning. It's Something I Imagined And Liked And I Guess There Are Other References In Other Films I Make - The Similar Type Of Image. But I Think It's Interesting, It's Breaking Through The Mystery, Or Maybe It Stays In The Fog... We Don't Really Know. Where Is He At The Beginning Of The Film, Who Is He?
