I like invoking the native rhythm an image
suggests, and then not allowing the viewer to have it. I want people to
question the motivation behind shot lengths. Playing with temporal
expectations is what is most indigenous to cinema. And maybe indigenous
to other kinds of thinking, I don’t know. Where you’re forcing someone
to stay longer or shorter with something than they expect. That’s what I
love most about cinema – manipulating the temporal plane.
