kids adults fantasy
I realized that everything I do is fantasy, whether it is an adult movie or a kids movie.
people empowering want
Hollywood wants to own everything. I don't want to own anything. I don't want people just to make content, I want to empower and teach them to create content they own that they can exploit in any medium.
technology use levels
I like to keep my budgets at a certain price when I work for someone else, and even more so now that I'm working for myself, and use new technologies to deliver films that look like they have high production levels.
drag
It's such a drag to make a movie.
agents steps actors
If you do a film with a studio, agents step in, they start saying, 'My actor has to get this amount of money', and it becomes about deals.

Everything I've done has always been my own made up world with its own rules and its own made up stories.

Data scientists are statisticians because being a statistician is awesome and anyone who does cool things with data is a statistician.
running moving issues
Exploitation films were famous for taking an issue an exploiting it because they could move much faster than a studio could. If there was any hot topic, they would run out and make a quick movie and make a buck on it, by changing it around and using it, in some way, to give some relevance.
thinking people growth
I try to remind people, whether you have a growth manager or a value manager, you're going to go through cycles where you think you have a village idiot.
creativity dvds people
A lot of people who watch DVDs are people who are interested in, if not moviemaking, then creativity in general.

People don't live in Austin to work, they work to live there.
people mexico immigration
People talk about immigration, but they won't talk about the corruption that actually exists between Mexico and the U.S.
real issues done
When you make an exploitation film, you always want to have a real issue. That's how they were always done.

Yeah, I was always a big fan of noir.
