I had always been interested in film from an early age and I went to The Rhode Island School of Design and the American Film Institute for school. I am more visual and Jim is more verbal. We cast people we ve known and people who simply impress us with their persona and energy. It s a much more interesting relationship for me as a director to grow with a group of actors and know what we are all capable of doing from project to project. It s a kind of exploration team.
Many filmmakers hope to shoot ten films in their career.
You guys did this in just three years. We are usually self financed although we have received grants. We are willing to accept money, though. We aren t afraid of it. The digital video revolution is a total liberation for filmmakers like me.
