I was expecting to make something else before this. In fact, the other film I was supposed work on I was going to be the producer not even the director. But then that fell through and the people I was collaborating with said, “We’re making your movie.” And so began the production of Paralysis. I didn’t feel prepared, but decided to see it through and it came out better than I expected. I hope people enjoy it and I’m looking forward to the audience’s response.
