Characters Quotes

My films are very rooted in specific people’s point of view. Some film-makers give a more global point of view, like God looking down at the characters Picture Quote #1

Since I came at ‘Godot’ from a God-based frame of mind, it didn’t strike me as absurdist. It struck me as characters waiting for proof of God’s existence Picture Quote #1
