A movie goes from several stages, from idea to script. As you continue shooting, you will make some adjustments. You're constantly adjusting. It's like a piece of music. You're constantly trying to make it better.

I'm a big movie fan, and I want to make movies in every genre. I want to make my romantic comedy one day.
