If you're doing a music film, you've got to be singing about something.
Music films are great, but they can never compete with a live performance. Live music is what it is. It's the whole point. You experience it in the moment.
I didn't go to film school so my learning was done out in public and showed up on the screen.
I love doing fiction. I love doing performance films and I love doing documentaries that don't have music. I love to shoot and I love to shoot things I'm enthusiastic about.
I don't think of Storefront Hitchcock or Stop Making Sense as documentaries, I think of them more as performance films.
Every film deserves its own unique look.
