The Criterion Collection

I have wanted to make films ever since I first watched 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' at age 15. Now I have six short films under my belt as director and a dozen or so others I have worked on. I am obsessed by film in the way that most free-thinking folks really shouldn't be. I suppose my main passions when it comes to films are that: 1. Films can provoke not just emotional but physical reactions in me (e.g. 'Memories of Murder'). 2. Narrative drive and momentum is all well and good but real excitement, I feel, lies in ideas and real-life repercussions (e.g. British Kitchen-Sink dramas). 3. They can make me give a shit about stuff I couldn't care less about (e.g. 'The Red Shoes').
