It's great to do commercial movies; they are fun. You're doing stunts, you are running around, there is a lot of money involved in the production; there are incredible sets and designs.
I think diversity is very key to anybody's resume, and also for your mental well-being.
I think it seems like a natural progression to go into directing, and I hope to explore more of it, because it's very exciting and a really good way to collide all the things that you've known and experienced in the business and put them all into one.

It's like kill or be killed, that's my thing basically.
Japanimation is a whole different art form.
When you work with chains or any kind of weapons, or just when you're using hand-to-hand combat, you are going to get hurt
