When you plan the realization of a film project, what are your objectives?

My objective is never just to “make a film.”
My objective is to build an experience that stays with the audience long after the screen goes black.

I approach every project through three layers:

1. Truth
If the story is not grounded in emotional truth, nothing else matters. You can have the best camera, the best lighting, the best visual effects—but if the audience does not feel, you’ve failed.

2. Character over spectacle
Cinema is not about shots. It’s about people in conflict.
If I cannot direct a simple scene between two characters and make it compelling, I have no business hiding behind production value.

3. Legacy over content
We live in a time where people chase “content.” I’m not interested in content. I’m interested in work that lasts—stories that can be studied, revisited, and felt years later.

With Artificial Intelligence transforming cinema, what is your opinion?

Artificial Intelligence is a tool.
And like every tool in cinema history—from the invention of sound to digital cameras—it will expose the truth about filmmakers.

It will not replace great storytellers.
It will replace average ones faster.

The danger is not AI.
The danger is dependency without understanding.

We already see it:

• Filmmakers who can generate images but cannot stage a scene
• Writers who can prompt ideas but cannot build character arcs
• Creators who mistake output for authorship

AI can accelerate execution—but it cannot replace:

• Human contradiction
• Emotional complexity
• Moral conflict

It cannot replace meaning.

So my stance is simple:
Use AI—but earn the right to use it.

Learn structure. Learn character. Learn conflict. Learn subtext.
Then use AI to enhance your voice—not replace it.

To which production or distribution company would you like to propose your new project?

I’m interested in partners who understand that cinema is both art and strategy.

Companies like:Neon – for their ability to position daring films globallyBlumhouse Productions – for mastering contained storytelling with strong concepts and disciplined budgets

But more important than the company is the alignment of vision.

I’m drawn to collaborators who:

• Respect the screenplay as the foundation
• Protect the director’s voice
• Understand that great films are built—not assembled

Because at the end of the day, distribution gets you seen…
But storytelling is what makes you remembered.

WILD FILMMAKER as a cultural movement—are they doing a good job?

Not only are they doing a good job—
they are doing something necessary.

We are in a time where:

• Algorithms decide visibility
• Marketing often overshadows meaning
• Speed is valued over depth

A platform that chooses to put the Work of Art at the center is not just relevant—it’s essential.

Cinema was never meant to be just industry.
It was meant to be expression, reflection, and confrontation.

By creating space for filmmakers outside the traditional power structures, you are:

• Expanding voices
• Challenging the system
• Preserving the soul of cinema

That is not easy.
And it is not always profitable.

But it is important.

Because if we lose that…

We don’t lose cinema overnight.
We lose it slowly—
one empty film at a time.
