Jean-Marc Vallee

I couldn't stand still at a desk for another year. I wanted to go out there and make films.

Trust the acting.

I love those films where I feel the director's confidence - where he doesn't need to overdo it with the shots and the cuts.

I love Hindi films.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

Live Below the Line raises real money to help the world's poorest people, but it is also a symbolic demonstration aimed at highlighting - not replicating - the plight of the world's poor.
