• People often criticize my films for being pessimistic; there are certainly many reasons for being pessimistic but I don’t see my films that way.

My goal is to reveal such mechanisms in a way that makes people realize the necessity of changing their own reality.

That's one of the reasons that religious station is so fascinating to me.
