From a young age—a very young age—I devoured film and watched?everything I could get my hands on. It was always fun to me. Some?people, after all, enjoy looking at a watch; others are happier?figuring out how the watch works.

It was always fun to watch, study, and ask the most important?question: Why?

The biggest element that changed over time, however, was I went?from watching what was there to watching for what was missing?and should have been there. I went from watching what happened?to what could have and should have happened. Film study?eventually became imagining alternatives, counters, options, in?addition to the finite details of why some actions work and others?don’t work.
