1. TRUST YOUR GUTS.
Stop thinking. Start feeling. Too much thinking clouds your vision.
2. ACCEPT YOUR RHYTHM.
You are not like others. That is, what makes your stories unique.
3. REMAIN HUMBLE.
Stay light. Don’t take the world and yourself too serious.
4. FORGET EVERYTHING YOU’VE LEARNT.
Don’t be a copy machine. Be a pioneer.
5. FIND RATHER THAN INVENT.
Work with what you have. Not with what you dream of.
6. DO WHAT YOU LOVE. NEED TO DO IT.
Make films for people you care for, not for people you want to impress.
7. CONTRIBUTE TO BEAUTY.
Look out for hope. Don’t be brutal. But don’t be afraid of it either.
8. AIM FOR SIMPLE.
Simplicity is true and great work is simple. It’s just hard to get there.
9. SURPRISE YOURSELF.
Film is like travel. The best is the unknown.
10. PRESERVE THE MYSTERY.
Life is more than you can see. Hide so others can seek.
11. DON’T SEEK PERFECTION.
Dare to make fragments. Only risk is worth the effort.
12. CHANGE THE RULES.
You don’t actually have to change the world, but you have to try it.
