Quotes:
“I didn't have any experience and I was afraid. That's the truth and that's why I wanted to start with the basics.”
“My goal was to move from my home country and to broaden my horizons, which I think London made perfect for me.”
“We managed to get everything done but it was quite a hell and we didn't have any summer.”
“That was quite nice. It's a different experience when you film on film because you don't know what the outcome is going to be. You don't see the image and you have to be precise in the exposure.”
