“Because it’s my first feature, I think I put a lot of things in it. I have many friends who went to screenwriting labs, with projects that are doing very well. But somehow I think their projects have a format created by these labs. I went to one or two labs, and I heard a lot of criticism: Your project goes all over the place! You can’t define it in any one genre! Is it a coming-of-age film? Is it a horror film? One day I thought, is that a problem? That’s what I want to do, at least for this first film.”
