II’ve spent most of my life making things that exist for a very short time. An empty room becomes something else, people come together, something happens, and by the next morning most of it is gone. I think that’s what has kept me interested in production for all these years. Every project starts with an idea and a group of people trying to make something that didn’t exist before. My role has changed over the years, but what I enjoy about it hasn’t: the collaboration, the momentum, the unexpected ideas, and that moment when a project begins to take on a life of its own. I want the people I work with to feel that too. There should be ambition in the work, pride in what we make, and some joy in getting there. In the end, people may remember what they saw, but the people who made it will always remember how it felt to make it.
