Interestingly, it is his debut as director of feature films after developing some shorts.

The reason for predilection is somewhat personal. He says:

“Whenever people asked me what my favorite movie was, it almost seemed a sacrilege to say anything beyond rent dogs, because it changed my life. And there will never be that.

Change of opinion?

Still at the time, the American admitted that, unlike other professionals in the field, he loves to watch his own movies. He pointed out:

“I love them all. I make them to me and everyone is invited to watch. Whenever one of my movies is on TV, I stop to watch. I am very happy with my own work. ”
