As somebody who has now put together several films of your own, who have been your greatest creative inspirations? Who are your favorite directors or writers?

Aside from the Vaudeville and Hong Kong masters, I love the simplicity of the 80s genre film. We all love directors like John Carpenter.

One needs a foundational rock to build from there, but that rock’s been cast out in favor of relativism and “personal truths”.
