"The style of my films varies from straight cinema verité, to dramatic reconstruction, to full narration driven story telling. I believe that style is driven by whatever suits the subject matter. As for the content...well, while I've been fortunate to witness and experience many things that have continuously pushed back the borders of what I recognize as reality, I am also, I think, increasingly more aware of the difference between belief and knowledge, shaded as it is by wishful thinking and self-deception. This tends to make what I think I know, increasingly less...and much more provisional in nature. That which I may not have experienced first-hand I tend to put on the shelf if it seems sincere, and to disregard if it doesn't.
All of this informs my films."
