Oh, wow, man. That's a good one. Wait a second, man. What do you think the teacher's going to look like this year? Oh, yeah. Teacher, stop that screaming. Teacher, don't you see? Don't want to be no uptown punk.

Thank you.

Thank you.

The documentary happened because I was going back to Michigan, where I'm from, Kalamazoo, to visit my grandmother. And when I got to my grandmother's house, my father was sitting on the doorstep, and I had my sons with me, and my wife was with me, and they'd never seen him before. My kids were probably about seven and five or something like that at that time.

And I basically told him I didn't really want to talk and that this wasn't a good time. So I walked up the stairs, walked into the house, and to my surprise, my father followed me in. Now, this is my maternal grandmother. And so as I was starting to get a little frustrated about the situation, my grandmother said, baby, you need to talk to him.

And I say this all the time, but when my grandmother tells you to do something, you do it. There's no question. I had a camera on my shoulder at the time because I was going to take a photograph of her. I was going to make a painting and drawing of her. And so kind of on a whim, I said to my father, if you want to talk, let me let me film you. There's a there's a lot to be accounted for.

And I was hoping he would say no, but he said yes. He said be in my house for 15 minutes. And that was the beginning of it. And the truth of the matter is that documentary felt wildly unsatisfying. I showed it publicly in the theater one time and decided I don't want that in the world like that.
