There’s nothing quite like the idea of failing spectacularly to excite a film maker.
The world is an infinitely fascinating, tragic and humorous place.
I’m a huge fan of world cinema, because each country uses cinema in a very individual way.
I started using film as part of live theatre performance – what used to be called performance art – and I became intrigued by film.
I might have a guitar or a piano on set to play something for the actors.
Films take up so much time, and with theatre, you do have to plan a period of time that you can be free.
You make sure that there’s a structure that’s interesting for them to play on top of, then do temp versions and try it on the film. By the time the players come to the recording session, I’ve found what works. So I’m not wasting their time.
