IMDb Intro: 'Creative Control'10 of 10
Dickinson also describes the innate tension in the title itself as "a rich phrase in this context because those two things are sometimes in opposition, creativity and control, and they sometimes very much go together."
"The theme of the movie, in a lot of ways, is control," he says, "It's how David creates a digital girlfriend to meet his exact desires, the same way that he's able to control his mood by using drugs, the same ways we use our smart phones as a control device. And that's not always bad because we need to have control over some things. But then obviously the dark side is that when we have too much control that actually kills creativity because creativity is a collaboration between control and chaos."
