We all reflect the world we live in. Even if you make a period film, it will reflect your times.

Catching the Big Fish (2006)

Catching the Big Fish (2006)

Life is very, very complicated and so films should be allowed to be too.

There's so many problems in our world, so much negativity. Don't worry about the darkness — turn on the light and the darkness automatically goes.
