I wanted to be Steven Spielberg, Tim Burton, Stanley Kubrick, David Cronenberg, Ridley Scott, James Cameron, and Hitchcock. I'd wanted to be a director since 13, and horror and the suspense thriller were the most powerful genres to me.
I think the majority of police are really good people and really good at their jobs, but that doesn't change the fact that with any interaction I have with them, I'm viewed as a potential threat.
I want to produce untapped voices, find people and help them get their platform.
You hear it said time and time again by successful directors: You have to make a movie for yourself. Don't make it for anyone else.
I define 'social thriller' as thriller/horror movies where the ultimate villain is society.
As far as writing and directing, I'm very focused on the thriller genre.
