Following

“And this is Following by Christopher Nolan, who’s a mentor of mine. And I do think that, in observing Chris’s movies, I think that Michael Mann is a big influence. And you can feel it quite a bit when you look at this film. This is my guy. I’ve come to know him, I’ve come to know his wife. It’s obviously the most indie you’ll ever see... Mr. Nolan, he finding his way. A lot of the Christopher Nolan trademarks are here in this movie.”

“Let's talk about Following. Okay, he made this film over a $7,000 budget. He shot it on weekends. It took him I think about 3 years in the making because they would just shoot it on the weekends whenever anyone had time to shoot. It was no plan... He just had a script laid out, a schedule all planned out... Emma Thomas produced it with him. He edited it, shot it, directed it, and wrote it at the same time.”
