WHAT’S ONE BOOK, WORK OF ART, ALBUM, OR FILM THAT GOT YOU THROUGH AN IMPORTANT MOMENT IN YOUR LIFE?

Behind the Beautiful Forevers by Katherine Boo.

WHAT’S SOMETHING PEOPLE GET WRONG ABOUT YOU?

““I want action movies to bring back props and miniature models for special effects. It’s much more impressive than a film full of CGI."”

NAME AN INFLUENCE OF YOURS THAT MIGHT SURPRISE PEOPLE.

Mark Twain.

WHEN YOU WERE LITTLE, WHAT WERE YOU KNOWN FOR?

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE MORE OF IN YOUR INDUSTRY? LESS OF?

I want action movies to bring back props and miniature models for special effects. It’s much more impressive than a film full of CGI.
