| Favorite Movies | I've pretty much seen it all. One of the nice things of being a filmmaker is that you can call watching movies "research." My favourite film of all time is "The Street of Crocodiles" by the Brothers Quay. Following that it's "La Haine" by Mattieu Kassovitz, "The Battle of Algiers" by Gillo Pontecorvo, "Sexy Beast" by Jonathan Glazer, and "Jhalsagar" by Satyajit Ray. |

| Favorite Books | I carry this book with me wherever I go: Albert Camus' THE OUTSIDER (aka THE STRANGER). I also think Neil Gaiman and Terry Prachett's GOOD OMENS is the funniest book ever written. Chris Ware's JIMMY CORRIGAN to me has the title of the greatest literary work of the new millennium. Suketu Mehta's MAXIMUM CITY is getting multiple reads from me these days. |
