And

And one of my clients and my client became a friend, you know, but someone that collected a bunch of my art was quite a high level person in Hollywood that was an agent, owned an agency.

And I was like, hey, I'm just looking to do this, looking for a family.

Do you guys ever, you know, this was like before reality TV and, you know.

you guys have any way you can help on this?

He read it, the lit department read it.

They're like, listen, you need to stop with all the, the like fine art stuff.

And you just need to be like writing and making films.

Like this is exactly the thing.

And the next thing I knew I had this out of control cast on a million dollar art film.

And you know, that cast was insane.

I mean, it was, I had, you know, Garrett Hedlund,

Richard Jenkins, Ann Archer, Terrence Howard, Jennifer Hudson, Amy Adams, Jessica Brown Finley, this girl, Jessica Barden, like an amazing cast coming together to like play with me in a little hospital on Roosevelt Island, just in a room making this thing.

It was incredible.

And then when I watched it, it did a lot of the things that I wanted it to do.

But the biggest takeaway was like, wow, like,

The experience was amazing and totally cathartic for me.

it also was so much better than anything i could make by myself and that kind of multiple of it was amazing and you know i wasn't i'm not a megalomaniac that needs to control everything i was really happy for all of my department heads and everyone on that set to be creatively together and so i just kept going and and i've you know it's it's by far the the most fun thing that that i get to do outside of family life and

and that, but I mean, I love making movies.

I just seem to choose impossible ones to get made.
