Directing the film “Can You Watch This For Me?”
“When I read through all the scripts early on, I really enjoyed them all, but ‘Can You Watch This for Me’ jumped out at me right away. I was immediately able to picture the film quite vividly, and I found myself laughing at the humor even just reading the script! I read all the scripts several times, but found myself coming back to ‘Can You Watch This for Me’ the most. I really enjoyed the absurd humor, and I found the characters to be quite vivid even despite having only a few lines of dialogue. It also left me wondering about it! There is a lot of mystery within such a short script, and I think it leaves a lot of room for speculation and theorizing!”
