What was the horror film you loved? The Lost Boys, The Monsters Club. The Lost Boys. Right? The horror films that you loved. I mean, too many. I saw them all when I was young. Candyman. Candyman was fun. That's why I think when you ask about films, I always say to people, what's your favorite experience in your life? What's your favorite moment in your life? Go back in your life.

Because I think that's it. It's like a film is a moment and it's experience that you have. Maybe it's with the people you watch it with, right?

Sometimes it's the date you're on or just the experience of, oh, wow, that brought me to, I was in the dumps and I watched that movie or I remember being in high school and waiting for Friday night to go see American Pie because it was like going to take me out of this experience and take me somewhere else. So you can't really say this is better than that. They're just moments in our lives.

Just to your question of different sport, I would say acting and directing would be like playing two sports, right? Because they're very different ways of being.

documentary to film it's it's just a different medium documentary is a different way of making a movie and telling a story but it's still the same fundamental principles right you're either setting up cameras your actors are you're either your participants you know like reality show style or interview style you're sitting down you're talking to someone you're you're feeling okay what's the tempo is this boring you have to cut away to something else where the visual is coming from right

Am I going to archives or am I shooting it? It's the same principle of storytelling. It's just maybe the budget. Generally, the budget is nowhere near what you get with the film. You don't have to stage everything. It's a little bit different, but the same principles of storytelling apply. There are films that can apply the documentary style or the mockumentary style and bring that tempo to it.

Likewise, you can bring cinematic style to documentary. I think there are many different languages. And it's like you go to film school and you watch some of these things and you're like, man, you know, the Maya Deren types and the Brackistan Brackage and things like this. And, you know, there's many others. They're not necessarily the most entertaining films, but it just shows you how...

film you know how do you say we've hollywood has created a certain style for the most part right that's larger than life and you know goes back to let's say you know the epics of griffith and whatnot gone with the wind but if you go across the world there's many different styles of storytelling that

from a Hollywood perspective, would come across as boring, but might resonate more with a more documentary approach, like an Ozo or someone like this, you know, a Japanese approach to storytelling that might be a little bit more like day in the life and a little bit more focused on nuance that maybe a documentarian would be interested in, as opposed to a Hollywood filmmaker, right?
