What is my task? First of all, my task is to be pleasing to Christ. To be empty of self and be filled with Himself. To be filled with the Holy Spirit; to be led by the Holy Spirit.

Directing has completely changed the way I write and watch films.

I was writing from the time I was 12 years old, but I originally wanted to be a novelist.

While I was a voracious movie-goer as a boy, I never put writing and films together in my mind.

I honestly never wanted to direct. It was only when I started to work on 'Alexander the Great' that I realized I had to direct. I saw something so specifically in my mind, I could not leave it to someone else.
