Brands work on the principle that if you break down people's confidence, they will be much more vulnerable to advertising, and much more likely to go out and consume… much more likely to buy things to fix problems they didn't even know they had if it weren't for brands breaking their confidence in the first place.

Understanding sales cuts to the core of basically why people say yes, why people give you rejections, and what has to line up in someone's mind before they say yes.

When you're young, you're trying to earn a living- that's the most important thing. But alongside trying to earn a living, you're trying to find a voice and make films about things that interest you- you have an intentionality to your work.
