I’m like, “so I was thinking to myself, I can’t.” I’m literally just walking on campus. Like I can’t, I can’t, like, I can’t.” I called my brother up. And I was just like, “man, I can’t do this. My family was a victim of that, and I just was in school one day on campus. I wanted to be in NBA! But I was going to school for business and college, and then the financial crisis of 2008, I think the end of 2008. So you don’t think you can do this, you just enjoy it. So we went to the movies all the time, and as a kid in New York with normal friends that aren’t in the business, you don’t talk about this stuff. So like Wacky Wednesdays, $2 and 50 cents for a ticket. We’re not getting on any plane, that’s for sure. You can only imagine what the quality of life is not going to be … it wasn’t horrible! They took care of us, but like … we’re not going to get many luxuries. You got eight kids living off of like $40,000 a year, 10-person family, almost everyone at home. I’m one of eight kids, and when you’re one of eight kids in New York City, based off of a mailman salary - my dad was a mailman, my mom was a stay-at-home mom. What led to you getting involved in filmmaking? I can’t control people think, but yeah, it’s personal and I appreciate that question. Art is open for interpretation, whether someone loves or hates it, as long as they watch it and they got the opportunity to make their own opinion. So it could be soul-crushing if people hate it, but it’s okay. So yeah, when you are doing top to bottom, it is extremely personal and it’s like you’re putting your soul out there. Then intertwining that with facets of my own life and just different relationships that I’ve had. And yeah, like you said, it’s very personal, you know? All the characters are based off of facets of myself based off people I know.
So the fact that I’ve been blessed with this opportunity … no complaints here, super happy. That’s almost impossible nowadays, unless you have someone famous in your movie.
