- Nov 07, 2020
All history is defined by shifting modes of reality and time and how things change. That's what I love about cinema. It changes in the moment.

One of the biggest things that happens to many people when they have kids is that you suddenly realize that you're not going to last forever. You know there is another generation who are the heroes of their own stories, and that is humbling.

I like a film that makes the audience feel like they are in the middle of life as it is moving, and in a way, they are catching up. They are thrown into things.

I don't think I'd ever start making a film until I had both the intimacy with the subject and the distance to make it live in a certain way.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What I loved about 'Goodfellas' is that it's a film about bad behavior - but told with great energy and without judgment - but it doesn't actually shy away from the consequences of that behavior in the characters' lives, which I think is similar in 'Keep the Lights On.'
- Grabbed

New York grabbed me too hard, as did adulthood.

- Nov 07, 2020
Capturing intimacy is pretty much the only thing I'm interested in. That's what excites me and what I find beautiful in movies personally - that almost obscene sense that we shouldn't be this close to these people. I find that very inviting and meaningful as an audience member.

I've been hiding crucial events in my life since I was 13.

I'm not interested in a film about deceit anymore. I think I was always invested in deceit on some level. But it no longer compels me the way it did for so many years.
- Nature
- |

I always think of my films within the context of where aesthetics meet economics. That's the nature of making art - not being naive about what is possible and getting what you need to tell the story you want to tell.

For me, every film is actually a form of documentary.
- Always

As a gay person, my life has been marginalized.
- Encourages
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Everything encourages you not to tell stories of gay lives. There is no economy yet for that kind of cinema.
- Expression
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As independent filmmakers, we are actually deeply dependent on each other. The Spirit Awards are a public expression of those bonds, the intricate set of relationships and histories that we filmmakers depend on to make our most personal work.

- History
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I grew up in the 1960s in Memphis, and my father was a member of the American Civil Liberties Union. I was born three years before Martin Luther King was killed, and I think that history of civil action was something that I had in my blood.

Music Box has proven itself in a few short years to be a cutting edge distributor with a sophisticated understanding of both the market and cinema.

'How to Survive a Plague' is history-telling at its best. It's a film I'll show my two children, now toddlers, when they are old enough to understand. It's a movie that I cannot forget.
