I Went To College, I Went Pre-med,

I'm A Kind Of Private Guy.

I'd Done Table Reads For My Own Screenplays, And I Always Thought They Were So Much Fun. Why Couldn't We Do These For Other Classic Screenplays And Bring Them To Life? You Can Experience Live Theater, Where You Get To See Plays Produced By Different Directors And Different Casts, But There's Really Nothing Like That For Movie Scripts.

Unlike With Any Other Art Form, Filmmakers Have This Unique Web Of Festivals. There Are Hundreds. It Is A Democratic System In Which You Submit Films, And If They Are Good Enough, They Play. The Only Barrier To Entry Is The Submission Fee.

Filmmaking Is Finding A Piece Of Granite And You Start To Chip Away And Then You Have The Shape Of A Head, The Shape Of The Arm, You Can See The Shape Of The Face And The Face Starts To Gather Character. You Have To Find It.

I'm Trying To Figure Myself Out Through My Movies. Whether It's Big Stuff Like What We're Doing Here, Or Little Stuff Like Why Aren't I Happier? With Every Film I Feel Like I'm Apologising For Something. I Feel I'm Most Successful When I'm Looking For Something That Embarrasses Me About My Character That I'd Like To Expose.
