"I think my films kind of walk this line that I'm proud of, that they feel sort of like films of my youth, which were far more commercial. I did not grow up a cinefile. No one in my family was in the film business or even anything close to it. There is certainly a part of my filmmaking that harkens to a more simpler commercial kind of taste, but then with this there's certainly a kind of avant-garde, abstract, existential element to it."
