I feel very fortunate to have found my calling in life. I meet a lot of people who say they still don’t know what they want to do. I knew what I wanted to be when I was 17. I’m not going to say that it’s all been rosy and without problems. No. It’s been hard. Some of the films I make challenge me so hard I sometimes wonder how I will ever make the next one. But then I always rebound and start again with a renewed sense of enthusiasm and passion. The gift and curse of being a filmmaker. There is nothing like making a film that is appreciated by an audience. But to make a film that also contributes to some kind of positive change, that is a privilege.

“Let me express this simply. Although I spend my life dealing with suicide risk, your team’s movies give me goose pimples! I am delighted you can tap into the opposing forces in suicidal patients, and express them so graphically, integrating seamlessly the message of hope which is so vital.”
