As a self-proclaimed cinefile and consumer of films, the thing I most appreciate as an audience member these days is when something surprises me. The audience has become quite savvy - we've had several generations of moviegoers - and it feels like it's to a place where in a lot of films, within the first five or ten minutes you have a good idea of who the characters are, where the story is going, what the relationships are going to be, what the arc's going to be. My hope is to take some of these expectations and turn them on people.
