crazy groups film
I developed a group of friends around me that were all as crazy as I was about wanting to make films.
crazy men emotional
Young men are crazy strange emotional beings.
cool guy life met stuff worked
I went to engineering school, which I thought was what I wanted to do, for about two weeks. We had an orientation class and we met this guy where he worked and stuff and it was cool, but I was like, 'There is no way this is going to be my life.'
long would-be mainstream
If the movies that I'm going to make anyway go mainstream, that would be the coolest thing ever. But I have set up a plan that I've been working on for a long time.
long hobbies different
It was a hobby I got into a long time ago, hacking cameras. I was able to make my own using different lenses.
actors wonder filmmaker
But I always see myself as the filmmaker. I wonder if everybody else sees me more as an actor.
hands techie i-can
I am a mechanical techie. I can build things with my hands.
projects my-own
I hope I don't have to act in one of my own projects again.
school wisconsin sixth-grade
I'm from Wisconsin; well, that's where I went to school from, like, sixth grade till I graduated high school.
work-out people wipe
When things aren't working out for people, the end of the world seems like an easy way to wipe the slate clean.
running couple ambition
I don't have any ambitions as an actor. I felt very uncomfortable doing it. The first take every day I'd open my mouth and no words would come out. I'd do a couple of takes and eventually I could run the lines.
fun school actors
I had a friend in high school who badly wanted to make movies and would recruit me as an actor. It was always so much fun. I decided, I'm going to go to Hollywood and make movies, which is a thought I'd never had before.
thinking ideas looks
If I have an idea I want to put in a movie, I know what camera will make that look best, and I have ideas for future projects and stuff I'd like to build for those. I think it's just part of how I work, though.
writing ideas want
I was writing short films and I was going through this really, really, really terrible end of a relationship that I didn't want to be going through. It was too much for me to process and all of a sudden I had this idea for my first feature film and I knew right away I had to start writing it.
