All right, Jenny, here is your next quote.

It's about a hot new director in Hollywood.

That was Variety magazine talking about 20-year-old Kane Parsons, one of the hot new Hollywood directors who got their start making videos for what platform?

YouTube?

YouTube, yes!

The horror movies Back Rooms, made by Mr. Parsons, and Obsession, both made by former YouTubers, are dominating the box office.

They grossed over $100 million on their opening weekend.

It's so wonderful to see theaters filled again with young people, all of whom had to jump up every four minutes to hit the skip ad button on the screen.

It's tough.

And yet they have managed it by giving these young filmmakers an opportunity to make real movies.

Have any of you seen these movies, or did you follow their careers on YouTube prior?

Did they come home and tell you all about it?

Hidden undertones, okay.

And secret messages.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The directors of these two films are 26 and 20 years old.

That's half the age of Martin Scorsese if you add them together.

And the director of this movie, Back Rooms, he's 20.

And the movie is based on this series of YouTube shorts he started making when he was 16.

He has a good chance to be the first big Hollywood star to become a has-been before he can legally rent a car.
