My Parents Suffered From That

I Always Treated The Science Thing And The Art Thing As Quite Similar Thematically.

I Grew Up Watching Monster Movies And Horror Movies, Which I Felt Were Like Fairy Tales And I Think This Always Spoke To Me. Something About That Is Symbolism - The Beauty And The Magic Which Helps Me Work With Film And Start Making Modern Fairy Tales.

I've Always Liked Monster Movies And I've Always Been Fascinated By - Again, Growing Up In A Culture Where Death Was Looked Upon As A Dark Subject And Living So Close To Mexico Where You See The Day Of The Dead With The Skeletons And It's All Humor And Music And Dancing And A Celebration Of Life In A Way. That Always Felt More Of A Positive Approach To Things. I Think I Always Responded To That More Than This Dark, Unspoken Cloud In The Environment I Grew Up In.

The Great Thing About Visual Horror Films Is There's Real Potential For Strong, Beautiful Imagery. It's The One Genre That Really Lends Itself To Creating Strong Images. And I've Always Loved That Idea Of Windmills - Your Mind Aimlessly Spinning.

Some People Get Therapy, Some People Get To Make Movies.
