His agency at CAA would be sending him scripts all the time. So I, and one of my jobs was just to read all the scripts that came in, write coverage on them, recommend whether you should read them or not. And so that was a great experience. Like that was really great. You see what's out there in the marketplace. You see what the agencies are sending out. You see what scripts work or not.

You see how actors are responding to a piece of material or not. So it was a very, very humble experience. position to begin with. We all have our humble beginnings. But it was great training because, again, it was really hard back in the 90s to just get access to screenplays. So it was a great job. And Matthew's a total sweetheart.

I had been with him when people go, hey, Ferris, is it your day off? You know, that kind of thing. He sort of resigned himself to that's going to happen once a week, once a week for the rest of his life.

Yeah, not really. I think I grew up. My dad worked in the Foreign Service. I grew up as a toddler in India. And then when I was 10, 11, 12 years old, we lived in Sri Lanka. Beyond that, we lived in suburban Virginia and no connection. Like the idea that you could make a living making movies was just it never even occurred to me that you could make do that for a living.

It just happens somewhere else. And my dad loved comedy. He would take us to go see Mel Brooks movies. He would take us to go see every new Woody Allen film together. And I think watching your dad laugh at something is always this very... It's just great when your dad just relax and laughs at something. But I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. It was really, I was in high school.

I was very unhappy, but I had always kind of loved films. I remember as soon as I found out there's this thing called film school, I was like, well, that's it. That's what I'm going to do. That created the ladder or at least the bottom rung of a ladder that I could put my hand on and start climbing. So as soon as I found out there's a thing as film school, I was like, that's what I want to do.

You know, it's funny that the thing that I really fell in love with with movies was I remember the moment it was when my whole family went and saw Apocalypse Now when it was first released. And I remember that opening scene where you do a triple exposure of like the jungle panning across the jungle, Martin Sheen's face upside down and the ceiling fan going and that music from the doors is playing.

And I was a kid. I was like 14, 15 years old. I'd never seen movies do something like that, you know? And it was so lyrical and so beautiful. I was like, oh my God, this is art. Like, this is art. I had been raised on multiplex fare, right? And when I saw that, and that whole movie just blew my mind. That's just like still one of my favorite movies. That's when I fell in love with movies.
