"I established L'Institute Zoom in 2003 with Mick Sugden and Anselm Burke to make films in ways that other people aren't. I also write screenplays for directors who are driven to play with expressionist ideas, pooh-pooh Britain's realist canon and who instinctively know that film is not storytelling, it is the choreography of light and sound. The films that I direct vampirise my own personal crapness to prey on the ludicrous assumptions and conventions of cinema."
