north cordwell and we spent a lot of your life and maybe you could just tell everybody in the audience is watching night live about yourself and how you got involved in the making of the film coots which was made by jake unique person and i always thought it could happen to have a film blowing my all my friends started collecting all this footage about me and my friend had a school project for rockers and he was like oh i have to do a film what do you think and i was like comments later i called him back and i was like yeah let's do a let's do a good kind of thing and it turned out to be a very good short film and and it was an awesome thing yeah that's great so how did how did the filming of coots go i mean how did you jake work to get the whole thing whole project made it was a school project later seto's a short period you need to get done and he had to collect all the footage that he didn't already have we had to like go to tell the little bit about your about your story so for those who don't know your story maybe tell everybody a little bit about your story i sure like wasn't too close to my parents growing up and i decided to start doing like a lot of stuff on my own like halfway through senior year i decided i wanted to leave school so i dropped out of school and started hanging out and i had a lot of parties there is not someone i want to wait for like three weeks so i had like parties every night he came back the house was like trashed and i got kicked out of the house so i was living with my friends living on the streets for a little then all my friends after college and i then started sending all my friends i've been to like fifty different colleges for fun and alm then i decided to like living my dad again for a little bit then i he was moving out so he told me how to get my own place so i got a place in hoboken ok on my own because i always was basically doing my own thing it was just within a whole different kind of areas living in like a nice residential area to like a on a very fast like bar scene om always something to do twenty four who i'm really good friends it's though and i also would say i had a great time became very popular in high school but when it comes to academic and school side you know like i knew from an early stage i was going to go to college so i had a really case was seriously i knew it would just be a matter of time but like i would get that huge break not saying this film i knew this film is going to have like i was going to do something more that was on going to be like a long term project one take film or the jacket do a lot of takes of you during the film prosy you know you're talking throughout the film right yeah so he was probably about two or three different days of some filming how was the experience i mean was that see what strange appearing in a film documentary film at the time i would say was a little weird in my mind but also i knew the potential behind it how big it c and i knew it was just going to get bigger from there like so even though it was a little weird at first like i really controlled the whole situation very well like it was it's very suited for me this kind of thing i would say ok so you like acting second film right now is a short film that probably will be releasing some point next couple days public to check out i also have been in contact just like for meetings and stuff with them casting directors from l tito's the name of the movie that will be released cauldron it's called adam's journey it's a story out of a kid from chicago who travels to new york city for the first time without any plan or anything to do and he just tore the around the city kind of thing  other individuals who are cut to play in this and so like bouncing around thinking that this is something ben want to do you know is there any advice that you would give to home strong in your experience on the first thing i would say for sure is after you watch this episode you might look me up like i'm a lot of places right now it's not as easy as it is for me i'm a very unique story i'm a very unique kid it's i'm not saying don't fry a leas try to like have a but films don't get made about for someone like this is very different kind of thing but all i would say if you have a film the you believe in like is keep going the maybe someone will take a chance on you  ok so when you think about make the sum and your stories that kind of unusual story how should a relationship with your father right now we don't see each other much we're both very busy right now i had dinner with him a couple nights before he left for brazil this morning actually for a couple weeks but i we we talk sometimes but we don't really see each other much but we're like we're cool now at least ok your mom i haven't talked to her since i was taking and the ideas that you have you know we think you're going in the future oh i'll start off with this film that i would say in the past like week to week this is publicly the first time i'm actually saying this but it's starting to get some noise around my hometown i'm actually i'm actually going with a huge narrative film instead of a feature documentary ok which still being this close i have a pretty big team with me right now we are we have two or three production companies that we're very serious with right now also one other company that's a lot bigger than other companies that are starting to get involved in th studio and feature some plans not posited yeah but and ideas past and possibly me being the lead actor playing me overplaying the whole story or possibly getting a huge actor to play me and me together have been doing a lot of work ok doing this it's a tough to do yeah it's really tough from yes want to with stuff right now i can i leave here to have a radio interview in the city in a couple hours from now so it's just they are in like new york city or something so right it's a very safe thing like middle of the summer are honestly larry some nights where like i chose to sleep on streets like i thought it was like pretty calling it trying like i still think it's kind of cool looking back at a like the huge i mean i had i have fun with a lot of stuff in my life i find ways to have fun with everything so i have found a way to have fun boy i want to say it as bad that situation of being homeless wasn't as bad as like some people watching this might seem like  you know the basics i get my clothes on and my friends places and stuff ok i would also like sneak back home into my house when i knew i know was home kind of thing sometimes ok and then food like yeah i would just like one so what were some of the unusual nice they had your own or some strange nights that you were out there to the weird sounds or yeah i remember this one night when it was pouring outside so that was like one of the few nights i slept outside t i like to cover over this like i went to like this like nature pond thing that's like in our area it's like a wooded area there's like weirdo it's like a weird lake and stuff and i woke up in the in the middle of the night so  identity too but the film just tell you know for those who haven't seen the film so moto just one part of the story you know the tell for story yeah you know but there's and there's a sequel to it you know could be like who's to who's three right you're going down the road but for yourself i mean it's something that you ever thought about that you'd want to direct a film or produce a film besides you know being in front of the camera as opposed to you know being behind the camera you know i would say right now honestly i just want to be like the star i want to help out with my film as much as i can because it's like my film but i mean i'm going to let like this is like a one one time deal i want this to be a movie that is in movie theaters was a good experience for me i mean i've been to a bunch of assholes now all the cells are different and yeah like when it comes to the fan reaction just part of it honestly like this is the kind of film where a lot of people want to talk to you and yeah i love that like from an early age i was in close my parents a lot of stuff went down like in my house in my family so like from an early age i was always just like the kind of kid who just loved that swampy area and i have like as a for your movie career my own my sister's us closer to me in a she's like eighteen like i would say she understands how cool this is she's not really a fan of it i would say ok but my younger sister who's a no one did right well yes that the whole thing you know one day it's just you do it you normal things are sleeping outside story next day you're talking to me about production companies and yeah and all that right so you never know you know what life's going to bring you you know there's a lot of thing element was just you felt like you're out of place not from a social part of it not all but um i would say like some of the early age i don't i don't agree with school i don't agree with a lot of stuff that a lotta ways that schools are run at least my high school is run very poorly like i have no problem saying that on t v right now all they know how i feel about this they also know that my film star to blow up till and i mean i'll speak my mind and i'll speak the truth if it's the truth and my own school they took advantage of me they had an opportunity to take advantage of me and they chose to go that way about it how to tell you measurably well it's like little things like just like this punishing me when i'm at the end of the day like you being late to school or something only hurts you like it doesn't hurt someone else like if i want to like if early in my senior year i was coming to school every day late and it was clear in everyone's mind that i wasn't going to go to college like me showing up should be better than not showing up at that point like you don't have the punishing care when it that's not the situation punished it also like i would say own it's like little things like one of the things i don't understand about school in general is like you shouldn't have to ask to use the bathroom like if i need to use the bathroom i'm just going to walk in and use the bathroom i'm not going to ask someone if i may use the bathroom to me that's insane especially when you're sixteen seventeen years sure i need to find my one thing that is going to open up the door for me and i clearly have not know anything better based on that one thing in life that makes them happy and challenges them and you know we all go through the process of doing things that sometimes we're not crazy about you know but we still do them but i think one of the things that you found that sounds like that you found a way to you know take you know what's going on in your life and using it in a positive direction and i think that's what the film is is all about really it's about your life story so when toots i guess i'm looking long term so coots is sort of a springboard hopefully to other things right now for the work you know and for the big great great stories yet to come you know the chapters for us there's well there's two people right now that are pretty big influences and these are two names that might surprise a people honestly but the first one is very wapa north jersey guy not a couple  miles from me around the same age as me like dropped out of high school like a nobody and then all sort of became like the next huge name in the music industry like obviously i'm in the film industry boy it's a there's a lot more similarities between than people think like i did live in a nice area but not because my parents didn't really have much growing up kind of thing also just the way how overnight i'm becoming this like star when it comes to like a bunch of media attention and other stuff it's it's it's kind of a similar thing i mean i would love to meet him soon and i'm hanging out with him and i say i don't think that's too far away being able to and then the second one is  ever i have a friend back home who i would say like he doesn't know about to drop his name here but his name is justin and he's just like a very professional kid been friends with him for so long and he just like he conducts himself in a very good manner and i am like best friends when it comes to a lot of stuff and on i walk to see how he handles a lot of stuff just learn from him got it moving ok that's good though it's good to have you know individuals that you assessable for many reasons when it comes to aam i'm trying i'm trying to get into some pretty big fastballs not because of the short film but because of kids like at this point the shore thousand like i'm using this war of them ok no problem i also on would say like this is the kind of film how it started to be put together that is very likely going to be like an international like film that people start hearing and seeing about once this is done so this is a film where you just keep very close attention to it and remember this was during this interview like me talking about it so was the national film festival  so hopefully you know down the road things are for the place and you know i wish you nothing but the best and i'm glad you're able stop by here you know you're busy guy would busy schedule as we all just heard and i think that hopefully things are starting  the place and you know you did do the alternate route and hopefully you know it will work out for you and hopefully you'll be able to sleep in homes and you know now on the street and have a regular regular lifestyle down the road and hopefully you don't let your head get too big so we chance to you know watch our
