I think I'll always want to write and direct. I'm interested in producing and helping other people tell stories. But I'm still in love with writing and directing. Shane Carruth directhelpinterest Change image and share on social
Probably the TV show I've watched the most is 'How It's Made' on the History Channel. I could watch 24 hours of 'How It's Made' and never get bored. Shane Carruth borechannelhave Change image and share on social
I've always been anxious about 'Primer.' There's good things about it, but all I've seen for a long time is the flaws. Shane Carruth anxiousflawgood Change image and share on social
I stole a ton of film language from Steven Soderbergh and 'The Limey.' It's the definition of elliptical. It was the first movie I remember that introduced me to storytelling that isn't just one scene after another, and that things can be mixed up in the way that real experiences can.

'Upstream Color' in particular, it's got to infect culture at some level in order to have a life of its own.

Many of my favorite films, if someone were to tell me simply what they're about, I probably wouldn't be that interested. Plot often has so little to do with what's at the heart of a film. Shane Carruth favoritefilmheart Change image and share on social
