"There's often a mistake in thinking that because this is the central character [I have to] believe in the values of that character. One of the sort of principles for me in filmmaking is not to judge character. Because if the filmmaker is judging the character it also means that there's nothing for the audience to do.... I like to come to my own conclusions about the choices that people have made. I can't bear the sort of protaganist/antagonist architecture of films."
The last line is what grabbed me. How have you gone about tackling a script (be it hi-concept or not) where there is no real protag or antag, where certain things are sort of left in ambiguity?
