If the world you created in your film became a reality, is that a world you would want to live in? Is there a Sci-Fi world you’d buy a one-way %cket to?

The world of I Need My Space is certainly one that could exist. You would only need a ;red middle aged man who would be willing to build a spaceship. You might even find some inspira;on already from the real world. The ending circula;ng spaceship of the movie Interstellar is a something I would like to visit.

Do you consider yourself more of an analog or digital person? What kind of balance do strike between the two? Is there a disconnect between the technology you make films about and the technology that you make films with?

Digital. We are preLy young and we were born with computers in our hands so we are really used to be on top of the edge in terms of digital workflows.

When you’re crea%ng the props and sets that make a new world, where do you look for inspira%on? How do you create objects that are relatable but unfamiliar?

Usually just imagina0on helps a a lot and by turning different objects in your hand you can start thinking of new ways to use them. In a sci-fi world familiar objects could have different usage.
