trying fiction familiar
In all my science fiction movies, I try to blend the familiar with the futuristic so as not to be too off putting to the audience. There is always something familiar they can grab onto.
running fiction kind
There are trappings of science fiction which I kind of embrace, but there are also cliches which I run from.
scripts visual-effects visuals
After I script the movie, I have to storyboard it out, I have to budget it, and I have to understand if I can afford all those visual effects or not.

filmmakers happening keeps
I'm always coming back with too much footage. Most filmmakers do, but I'm always surprised that it keeps happening to me.

My hands are already full writing and directing, because that's a full time job. Actually, that's why I don't produce as well, as there's already enough producers.

I went to Long Beach State, started out as an actor.
