my new question..

To what extent is Tim Burton's childhood experiences significant in defining his auteur signature?

A close study of Tim Burton exploring the extent to which his childhood experiences are significant in defining his auteur signature.

I found out that me and ruby couldn't actually work together so I've changed my question to the one above, I think I will find this one more interesting and Ialso think it suits me more to do something like this.
I will still look into child psychology and dysfunctional families but base my research on Tim Burton instead of dysfunctional families in general.
