00:00I want to see cinema that provokes me.

00:26I want to see cinema that doesn't try to be tidy.

00:30I want to see cinema that is taking big risks.

00:33I want to see cinema that can be not perfect, but alive, I would say.

00:39I don't want to see the cinema that reacts.

00:45I don't want to see the cinema, or I don't want to champion the cinema that somehow puts

00:57I think just integrity, truth, a creative vision, moving performances, interesting storytelling,

01:10or simple storytelling.

01:12You never know, but you know when a movie really grabs you and it teaches you something.

01:18Movies can be so many things, they can be profound, they can be heartbreaking.

01:22That's what is so magical about this industry and what we make.

01:40And heart.

01:43It's always nice to feel the vibe of new things, and so I live in a bubble in England

01:49or America, and I see things, but when you're working you don't really see that much.

01:53You kind of go into your own sort of hermetically sealed world.

01:57So it's like coming to something like this, you get a bit more of a sense and learn a

02:01bit more, so that's why I'm here.
