"It's not so much a question of whether we've shot it through 35mm or digital video; what is important is whether the audience accepts it as real."

Previous Quote

In this type of cinema, whether working with actors or non-actors, as much as you do direct them, if you allow yourself to be directed by them, then the end result will be much more pleasing. The real and individual strengths of the actors is allowed to be expressed and is something that does affect the audience very deeply.
