I Guess I Probably Make Violent Films

I Grew Up In A Very Catholic Family. Up Until Puberty, I Would Go To A Catholic Church Every Week.

When I'm Writing Something, If It Gets Too Serious, I Just Can't Bear It, So I Take A Step Back And Take The Overall Scene In And Vent The Air A Little Bit.

I Believe There Are More Films That Involve Love And Forgiveness Than Violence, But They Often Seem Fake And Are Almost Embarrassing To Watch.

Sometimes You Need These Warm, Human Moments - Something That Feels Close - To Help Things Along.

Not Only Do I Look At The Playback With The Actors, But I Look At The On-set Assembly Footage With The Sequences With My Actors As Well. These Are The Reasons Why I Take Twice As Much Time To Shoot A Film In Korea. Thinking Back, I Remember On My First Ever Korean Film, I Never Used Any Playback Or On-set Assembly, So All I Had To Do Was To Tell Myself It's Just Like Making My First Ever Korean-language Film. After That, I Felt Right At Home.
