Well, so I started off.
I wasn't.
courageous or confident to say I wanted to be in front of the camera yet.
But I was at that time courageous enough to say I want to go into the film, the storytelling business.
So I went to film school, studied behind the camera.

And I had been writing short stories at that time.
And I had a buddy in film school who said, these are really good short stories.
You might be able to want to turn these into moving pictures.
