I hate seeing
things wasted. It bothers me to see something get discarded when it still has
use. Moving on to a new thing and throwing out the old thing unnecessarily is a
habit, and it is one that I try very hard not to develop. I like to embrace the
old and forgotten. This is a principle of my every day life, and it is the
essence of my work. I believe that by recycling discarded ideas and combing
them with elements of the present, as well as new ideas, you can create
something fantastic. This is what I try to prove with the films I make. I do
not wish to copy ideas from older media. Instead I would like to reintroduce
those ideas, and take them further.
The goal of my work is to create the future of
media. A future that reflects the past, just as our current reality is a repeat
of history. I draw inspiration from many
artists who have created a new standard for their craft. I admire directors
such as David Lynch, for being unafraid of creating his own style of imagery,
and David Fincher, for incorporating experimental elements into his mainstream
films. I also admire musicians such as Julian Casablancas, for making full use
of musical styles and motifs that have already existed, in order to create
something fresh and powerful. These artists
all possess the qualities that I aspire to have myself.
