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 came to filmmaking because it's my passion. I decided I can't have it distorted or marred by someone else deciding what it should be. Shane Carruth decidedistortfilmmake 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.

I've heard stories about movies that are really maybe difficult and really dramatic and good, but they are being sold as romantic comedies. All it's going to do is just... that's hurting the work, because that just makes it impossible for anyone to see it correctly. Shane Carruth comedycorrectlydifficult share on social
I got a degree in math, from not a good school in Texas, and then I went to work as a software engineer. Just not glamorous at all. Shane Carruth degreeengineerglamorous Change image and share on social
I find 'Fatal Attraction' really romantic. I really like the seduction. Almost every time I see it, I'm surprised when it goes dark. I know that's the claim to fame, but I key into how genuinely romantic it is. Shane Carruth attractionclaimdark share on social
