You seem to have a penchant for
moody, dark pieces. Where does your inspiration
come from? |
|
| LG: |
I’m not really sure. Those sort
of pieces just feel more natural to me. I would
dread to think what a comedy would be like if I
were to direct it! Terrible I would suspect. |
|
| SD: |
Who would you most like to work
with & why? |
|
| LG: |
That’s difficult as I would
like to work so many different people. Although
I can’t wait to work with Ciro again on my
next project. His ability to frame and capture scenes
adds depth to those subtle and delicate moments. |

What excites you most about where
the film industry is heading? |
|
| LG: |
I think it’s a lot easier to
distribute your own work these days using the internet.
With all the social networking sites around it’s
easy to put your stuff online and share it with
others. I think it raises the standard at which
other films, promos, etc are made as there are a
lot of creative people out there with some really
interesting ideas. |
|
| SD: |
What is your favourite film you
have seen recently? (either one you did or someone
else...) |
|
| LG: |
That would be Zodiac. I didn’t
catch it at the cinema but saw it on DVD the other
day and thought it was great. Finchers’ story
telling is superb. I love the dark and gritty worlds
that he creates and Zodiac was a brilliant example
of that. |

What exciting upcoming projects
are you working on? |
|
| LG: |
I’m currently in pre-production
on a few things at the moment but the most exciting
is the feature which will be shot the end of next
year. It’s this sort of cross between Remains
of the Day and Bladerunner. I’m really looking
forward to that. |
