I'd always intended to make 'Far North' straight after 'The Warrior.' We had the rights to the short story, the script was in development, and I knew where I wanted to shoot it. It just took a long time getting the script together and raising the finance. Asif Kapadia developmentfinanceintend share on social
I'm a sport fan. So, I have always watched everything, and I used to watch racing. Formula One was always on. The genius about it is that it's on at lunchtime on a Sunday. Asif Kapadia fanformulagenius Change image and share on social
My background is from India, and I always get asked, 'When are you going to do an Indian film, a musical or Bollywood film?' Asif Kapadia askbackgroundbollywood Change image and share on social
We were studying at Newport Film School, and I found that the only way for me to make films - because you need people and you need equipment - was that I had to be a student. Asif Kapadia equipmentfilmfind Change image and share on social

As a kid, I thought movies were boring. My parents would hire VHS recorders for the weekend and watch Bollywood movies. I'd get bored and go out to Stoke Newington common to play football. Asif Kapadia bollywoodborecommon Change image and share on social
We spent four days filming in a helicopter. I had never seen London from that viewpoint - you get a sense of how big it is and how easy it is to get lost. There was one day when we couldn't find Brick Lane: we spent 25 minutes looking and then realised it was directly below us. Asif Kapadia bigbrickday share on social
There's this great TV show we have called 'Later... with Jools Holland', a live-music show on Friday nights. Anyone and everyone's been on it. Asif Kapadia callfridaygreat Change image and share on social

I never know going in if I've even got a movie to make. Once you start making a film, you hope there's going to be enough material! My job as a director is always to push for more. Asif Kapadia directorfilmhave Change image and share on social
