On directing/film-making

Film is a very solitary pursuit. For directors and editors etc. - for actors and camera people, it's very communal.


The Movie Orgy's are a great portfolio now, but it's a decade of work, and it feels strange because of how long it took to put together. -


It also makes me sad about my brother: so much of that work was the two of us, and it hurt when he threw me out.


I get that you have loads of friends, Chloe: that's cool, but yeah I'm not very social. -

Added up, it's a pretty compelling picture of Wellington.
