He didn't know how he was going to do it. He figured it out day by day. Every challenge that got thrown at him, he had to figure it out. And that's the biggest lesson. Most people never start.

That was crazy. That thing's held together with scotch tape and rubber bands because of the camera I borrowed. You directed... You did cinematography. You did the sound. It's better to just say what I didn't do. I didn't act in front of the camera. Everything else I did. Everything else, I was the whole crew.
