'election' Is A Movie I'd Give A

Growing Up The Son Of A Director Has Made Me Very Aware Of The Various Turns That A Directing Career Can Take. Sometimes Your Films Turn Out Exactly As You Want. Sometimes They Don't. I Spent A Lot Of My Childhood On Sets. I Think As A Joke, My Father Gave Me A Line Of Dialogue In Each Of His Films During The Worst Moments Of My Puberty.

Everyone Wants To Be Loved; Everyone Wants To Know Where They're Going In Life; Everyone Wants To Have A Sense Of Direction And Feel The Next Day Is Going To Be Better Than Today. We Just All Deal With It In A Different Way.

I'm Really Specific In The Way That I Shoot. I've Always Had A Very Good Sense Of What I Need In The Editing Room.

I Don't Want To Make Films That Give You The Answer. If There Is A Message To My Films - And I Hope There Isn't - It's To Be Open-minded.

And Over The Course Of The Last Six Years, As I've Directed More Features And Commercials, I've Become Better At Articulating Exactly How I Want The Audience To Feel.
