Q: What films/videos and makers have inspired you or influenced your work? And why?

A: I am mad about Michel Gondry, who is primarily known for his groundbreaking work in music videos but has more recently ventured into feature films. More than anyone who comes to mind at the moment, Gondry manages to be both militaristically disciplined and hallucinogenically poetic. I appreciate the way he sets up very clear scenarios and then surprises his audience with the sheer invention with which he brings them to bear. Check out his videos for the White Stripes and the Chemical Brothers, as well as his recent film, ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND.
