never not once not even a little bit i would you know a restaurant being raised in a restaurant it's great because it's a house of stories everyone's telling stories to my dad my dad's telling stories to them about me and it's the people in that restaurant because it was in palo alto and silicon valley that uh people from adobe gave me software to edit with gave me cameras gave me computers so it was a very beautiful wow yeah that and that's what i meant that you were identified pretty early as somebody with a flare
Yeah, so you went to film school, and you made a short film which got a lot of attention, and I was able to find the trailer for it online.
Oh, man.
And it's called When the Kids Are Away, right?
Yes, yes, it is.
And if I understood correctly, because it's just the trailer, the idea is little kid leaves for school with all his friends leaving for school, leaving their housewife mothers, they're all sort of traditional housewives, and as soon as they're gone, the housewives break out into these fabulous big choreographed musical numbers.
Yes, what they do when the kids are away.
And I watch this and I'm like, oh my God, it was true.
But the twist of the movie is at the end, I'm just going to ruin it for people, but at the end, because you'll never find it, the end of it is that this kid gets found and he starts to share his moves.
He thinks he's in trouble, but he shares his moves and he actually introduces new moves to them and we find out that he's actually little Michael Jackson and that it's the passing on of the old musical
to the new musical, because from then on, he knows how to do that.
Wow.
I'm just thinking.
It was very deep.
Yeah.
It was very deep.
You were a dancer.
