To make a film, the final big collaborator that you have is the composer.
But I'd be lying if I didn't say that every time you go to make a film, you're desperate to either do it better than you did it last time or to not repeat yourself.
No matter how many times you do it, you don't get used to the sadness - for me at least - of coming to the end of a film.
The films that I love are very straightforward stories, like really old-fashioned stuff.
As I have got older and become a father, there's less and less time for films.
I really subscribe to that old adage that you should never let the audience get ahead of you for a second. So if the film's abrasive and wrongfoots people then, y'know, that's great. But I hope it involves an audience.
