I'm like, this is like the jankiness of life.

And obviously, I'm choosing what's in the frame.

And it's very...

It's very made.

Right.

And it's heightened.

But I want something that makes you think about that jankiness and see the seams and see see things.

So I can say like we have and it's about textures.

We have miniatures.

We have stop motion.

You know, we have all sorts of stuff.

I don't remember saying that, but it sounds right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So my mother was born to a Black pre-beat poet named Lawrence Patterson and a German Jewish mother named Anita Penner.

And in New York.

And she was born in the 40s.

So just even then being mixed, it wasn't something that is as prevalent as now.

And she got pregnant with my sister when she was 15.

And kind of was left alone.

Yeah, yeah.
