Quotes

  • [Indiewire: How did you come to the decision to shoot combat?] You don't have time to think: "Let's go to the frontline or let's stay here and be safe." Once we decided to go, something happened, the adrenaline kicked in. Who knows what we were feeling. We went, we shot, we came home and then we looked at the footage.
