What’s your philosophy when the footage tells a different story than the script?
“I go where the footage tells me. A lot can change from script to screen: how the actors interpret things, new ideas or challenges met on set that require re-writes on the fly, and so on. Filmmaking is an ever evolving process. Sometimes the details of the story can take on new meaning and I like discovering what that is and staying as open-minded as possible as I piece things together.”
