Why am I here?
Because this could lead to a job that will finally allow me to move out of my mom's house.
A quick tour of my life
I started making movies in elementary school for fun. That led to making movies in high school for easy grades. Now I'm making movies because, if I don't get these ideas out of my head, I will explode... and that is one mess you don't want to clean up.
Describe yourself in one sentence...
Skinny, shaped like a question mark, and stuffed loosely into jeans and T-shirt
Your theme song?
"Always Look On the Bright Side of Life" - Monty Python
First movie you ever saw?
The first movie that ever gave me nightmares was Jurassic Park.
Favourite line from a movie?
That's the Flux Capacitor, it's what makes time travel possible.
What made you want to be a filmmaker?
To make robots shoot lasers from their eyes!!!
When you make a film what do you want the audience to leave with?
Half a bag of uneaten popcorn
When I'm behind the camera...
I have one eye closed.
What do you think it will be like working with other Directors?
A big collaborative love fest
Favourite joke about Directors/Actors?
How many actors does it take to screw in a light bulb? Two, one to screw it in, and the other to say "That should be me up there."
Movie that best encapsulates who you are?
"Superman," cause he shoots lasers out of his eyes!
While On The Lot you have a week to make a film every week. What's the biggest challenge?
Remembering to eat
When you get the power, how will you use it?
To make 10 robots shoot lasers from their eyes!!!
What's more important talent or ego?
Talent, I already know that I'm the best in the universe... or should I say multiverse. (sarcasm)
