Backrooms director Kane Parsons has made no secret of how much he likes Valve's games, calling Portal 2 the single "biggest inspiration" for the instant-hit film. In a new interview, he says the whole house of Steam is a creative touchstone for him, praising Valve's commitment to artistic intent.
Speaking with Matt Belloni on his show The Town, Parsons clarifies that "there's no one path that I look at and personally say, 'I want that for me,'" when it comes to other creatives. Rather, he has more of a "desire to take things one step at a time."
