"We have real difficulty here because everyone thinks of changing the world, but where, oh where, are those who think of changing themselves?

Personal formation into the likeness of Christ is arduous and lifelong."

“I don't like making didactic, pedagogical documentaries based on standard formulas of narration: I'm only interested in the ambitious French tradition of the documentaire de crÃ©ation where the film, if successful, is not about something but that something itself. The goal is to incorporate areas of risk and paradox that we associate with cinematic art.”
