This video is the most deeply personal I've ever recorded, and was emotionally difficult but also so rewarding and freeing in a sense to film. I feel an overwhelming sense of love and gratitude to be able to share this story of my family and personal journey into directing for a career, told in 3 parts.
In this video we discuss how my late grandfather Jack Armistead's love of cinema, along with how the film Donnie Darko transformed my life and influenced me to pursue a vocation as a filmmaker. Sit back and let me tell you my story.
