camp out and everyone's going to work for free and film it on the farm where I grew up so we can get all the locations for free. And it would cost at least a half a million dollars in production value if you were to do a one-on-one comparison because everyone's working for free. And it... I feel like I blew it a lot. I feel like I blew a lot of opportunities.
And I'm trying to think of any specifics, but in general, I did come to the realization that LA is not somewhere... LA is not where I want to live. Hollywood is not a game in which I want to participate for the long term. So I knew I wanted to get out of that. I didn't know what I would do. I went freelance videography and eventually graduate school. So it took me to graduate school and I left LA.
But those students, the colleagues, the friends... Making a movie is challenging. There's a lot of... It presses relationships. It's a deeper idea of why that is. Because often I think there's some people are subconsciously just want it to be over. Because when you're making a movie, it takes like a year.
And then you have the editor and he's editing for, you know, that's the part that takes a year. The production itself, a month or two or whatnot. But then it's just like, this has to be over and there's so much pressure. And then that causes people to kind of dissolve under the pressure. And it's like, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
We're never going to have all these people come together and work for free.
It was just me for a 15-minute interview. Okay. End of a segment. Yeah. This is very... So I'm in Massachusetts in this little town in the woods. I didn't know what to expect. I was like, is a crew coming? Like, what's going on? A guy in a van pulls up to my house. Oh, yeah, you hadn't talked directly to the camera, did you? He's like, here, I'm going to mic you up. I don't know what's going on.
No instructions. He's like, I jump in the back of a van right after school. So I'm at school talking to the music teacher. I'm like, dude, they want me to go on Piers Morgan. Do you think I'll get in trouble if I do this?" And he's like, you got to do it. And I'm like, I got to do it. Right, right. And I said the same thing I said to you.
And he said, just don't, it's better to ask for forgiveness than for permission is because I knew that if I were to ask for permission and they were to say no, I'd be in a predicament now. Right. I'm not going to turn that down because I know what that feeling would be.
Yeah, right. The pain of regret is a unique form of pain.
The door opened. That's what I was trying to put my finger on earlier. And I had no one to blame but myself on how it turned out. That's seriously annoying. And that's what eats you.
That ties directly into what happened on Piers Morgan. Okay. So 15 minutes, and he asked the usual questions you'd expect. How was he with you? He was really nice. He was very...
be inviting to begin with so that worked out well okay so and he asked the question the last question was interesting it's the one that stands out in my mind and he is in all your hair because he watched the video he was producers someone went to the youtube channel in the research and i was like give me something to they found the me talking about archetypes in harry potter
Ah, that I got from you.
And he goes, so he thought I was some Harry Potter scholar or something. He goes, so given all your Harry Potter studies, what would the best piece of life advice be? And from all your Harry Potter studies. I used to voluntarily enter the unknown. Which is what you were just talking about. It might be the unknown beneath the surface of Hogwarts.
It might be facing the serpent that can turn you to stone when you see it. Like fear. But you must do so voluntarily in order to save Ginny. And it's the voluntary aspect of that that is... which is just classic. Everyone echoes that. They're like, okay.
But it's true.
The next day I go back into school, they call me back into the principal's office and they say, dude, you went on Piers Morgan. Like, can you at least check in with us before you do Piers Morgan? Those exact words.
Can you at least check with us? But what you just articulated was masterful. And that's the best logical read that you could provide on that situation, I think.
There's no benefit to them.
Yeah, and he knows about it almost. They insinuate that he knows what they're doing the entire time.
