Ira Sachs

When you live with people you know them better than you care to.

Movies are romantic fantasies.

I remember being a teenager and seeing Seymour Cassel across a crowded room and being incredibly star struck, and not having the courage to say, 'Hello.'

I got into filmmaking in order to tell very personal stories, and in this day and age, the opportunity seems all the more precious.

There's a lot of things lost in the Digital Age.

Suspense films are often based on communication problems, and that affects all of the plot points. It almost gives it kind of a fable feeling.
