shooting filmmaking software
I discovered shooting and filmmaking around the time all of the software became affordable to anyone with a PC.
taken scary want
We're all vulnerable, and it's all hackable. If someone wants you and has targeted you, you can be taken down, and that fact is really scary.
office-space hangover character
A favorite film of mine is 'Office Space' and I love 'The Hangover.' That is a really good comedy from character in that film, and that is true of 'Office Space' too.
order views done
When you're making a film all by yourself, that requires you to have quite a bit of a point of view in order for anything to get done.
tables dinner taught
My folks are economists and have taught economics and social science so I grew up with those kind of conversations around the dinner table.
simple media talking
There's a dangerous bottom-lining, and super-summarizing that happens in a lot of our press and our media, and sort of our politicians' talking points, that's dangerously simple. I don't know a better way to say it. And there's usually a lot more complicated facts going on than what is quoted and quotable.
feet trying way
I feel like my own background in improv and doing documentaries makes me really comfortable with a situation where you're letting things unfold and you don't have to be a jerk, stomping his feet, trying to get his way on everything.
