Well, I just think through your career you go through different phases, and I just got sort of uninspired by the whole studio process of making and releasing films.
The real trouble with film school is that the people teaching are so far out of the industry that they don`t give the students an idea of what`s happening.
The biggest mistake in student films is that they are usually cast so badly, with friends and people the directors know. Actually you can cover a lot of bad direction with good acting.
That`s what noir feels like to me. It feels like some kind of recurring dream, with very strong archetypes operating. You know, the guilty girl being pursued, falling, all kinds of stuff that we see in our dreams all the time.
So I like to try to go back and develop pure visual storytelling. Because to me, it`s one of the most exciting aspects of making movies and almost a lost art at this point.
