Shooters Q&A

Films I wish I had made

I LOVE documentaries, most recently blown away by Gasland, Enjoy Poverty!, The Red Chapel, October Country, Waltz with Bashir, The Horse Boy, Loot, In A Dream and Winnebago Man. Also love: There Will Be Blood, Out of Africa (can't help myself), Shortbus, Fast Cheap and Out of Control, The Squid and the Whale, Together, Once Upon A Time In The West, The Lives of Others, Raising Victor Vargas. Wholphin!!!

I cried watching

Any sappy film where animals get lost and have to find their way home despite nearly drowning and being chased by rabid wolves and large bears

I left the cinema during

I can't leave DURING a film even if it's so bad it leaves me depressed for weeks

Directors I love

Errol Morris, David Gordon Green, Lukas Moodysson, Werner Herzog, James Longley. Hang on, why are these all men? Kim Longinotto, Laura Poitras and all the other women kicking documentary butt.

Actors I admire

Donald Sutherland (oh my god, have you seen him in Fellini's Cassanova? Unbelievable!), Peter Sarsgaard (he's so dreamy), Meryl Streep (Out of Africa is one of my guilty pleasures, I love every overblown minute of it)

Writers I respect

Charlie Kaufman, Ben Hecht

My desert island discs

You Are The Generation That Bought More Shoes and You Get What You Deserve

Books I have given my friends

The Gift, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, What is the What, Mukiwa, Don't Let's Go to The Dogs Tonight, Long Walk to Freedom, What A Carve Up, Foucault for Beginners (ha!), 28 Stories of AIDS in Africa, Midlands

My death row meal

Haribo Sour Mix and Tattinger Champagne

The best thing I own

My dad's old Super8 camera, a steely will in the face of insurmountable obstacles

More about me

I love documentaries. I love independent films. I love short films. I love South Africa. I love making things and pulling things apart. I love Meerkats. I love cheese. I love tequila, whisky, red wine and beer but not necessarily in that order because that would be bad. I want a pair of moon boots and to live forever.
