我拍攝的電影，成果取決於拍攝地點。空間是可能性。所謂電影的「風格」或「觀感」不過是拍攝過程的結果。
預算以及對電影拍攝來說不太友善的環境往往造成局限，比如我們不能擅自把某空間的牆壁重新漆過或把門換掉。那麼就只能看看光在牆上或透過窗戶會映照出什麼樣的效果，再找出最好的做法。
所以，很多時候，在電影資金還沒完全籌集好，或是我還不清楚要不要、可不可接拍之前，都會想先看看外景，感受一下那地方。我需要知道導演關注劇本裏的什麼，現有的資金可以做到什麼，而空間又是否可以成為在電影的「一角」。
The films I make are very much a product of where they are shot. What is there suggests what is possible. What some call the ‘style’ or the ‘look’ of a film really just comes out of its process.
Given the budgets and the often not-too-friendly-to-film environments that I often work in, it's not possible to paint someone’s wall or change a door. How light falls on a wall or through a window suggests the best way to go.
So, often long before a film is ‘fully financed’ or even if I’m not too sure I can or want to do the film, I want to see the locations. I want to get a feel of the place. I need to hear what is relevant in the script for the Director, what works for the money, and how we can make the space a character in the film.
