I want to present interesting stories that don't qualify themselves just by virtue of their ethnographic type.

It is important to tell good stories. You can tell stories even if they are not huge, epic, and wonderful. You can still take the responsibility for being a scribe of your tribe.

The camera is interested in what you are thinking as opposed to just what you are doing or saying.

The loneliness is when you pick up and move, even if you are not originally from that place, and you have some memories that you want to embrace. Having a life in transit, I feel like you are always looking out the back window.

Acting school was summer camp, and I needed concentration camp. I had so many different ideas swirling between culture and how to tie things together.

I love films for the fact that it is like working under a microscope. It is sort of like a laboratory.
