Kathryn Bigelow
“I've spent a fair amount of time thinking about what my aptitude is, and I really think it's to explore and push the medium. It's not about breaking gender roles or genre traditions.”
David Lynch

Andrei Tarkovsky

Wong Kar-wai

Jean-Luc Godard
“A story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end... but not necessarily in that order. ”
Gus Van Sant
“I have my ideas of what a good documentary is, but drama is a different animal because you're arranging everything.”
Hal Hartley
