“I see filmmaking as an exploratory endeavour. By just standing still, inhaling the salty sea air, running your hand over withered tree bark, seeing the long grass twist, the clouds pass over in the wind, watching figures and shadows move - that is when the most important element in everything manifests itself to you: time. No amount of planning can yield the most unassumingly beautiful and the unexpected in life. With time, ideas present themselves as we watch life unfold.”
