I worried during the first show that it would all be too campy, ... But this week, it was really a tough, genuine competition, and it's getting more and more exciting.
When I was nine, I asked my Dad, ‘Can I have your movie camera? That old, wind-up 8-millimeter movie camera that’s in your drawer?’ And he goes, ‘Sure, take it.’ And I took it, and I started making movies with it, and I started being as creative as I could, and never once in my life did my parents ever say, ’ What you’re doing is a waste of time.’ Never….. I know there are kids out there that don’t have that support system. So, if you’re out there and you’re listening, listen to me: If you wanna be creative, get out there and do it. It’s not a waste of time.
My writing is consistently influenced by everything I watched and listened to growing up, so it's just this crazy collage of everything.
