It’s a given, but I like the rest of the team, love movies. The first one I saw was Scooby Doo, according to my parents. I cried when it got loud so they took me out of the theater. I love my parents. Showing movies to them is a deep pleasure of mine. Just like cooking for them, or getting them that thing they wanted for their birthday. People are surprised when I say this, but I show everything I screen to my family beforehand. They’re the Wizard behind the curtain of my programming. I talk with them about what should go first, and discuss the common themes the shorts I pick share. It makes me a better curator and programmer having my mom, dad, and sister in the room for help.

It's sometimes a little stressful because they may not be paying attention much or may not love it as much as you do, but when they do love it it's the best feeling.

Nothing like spending the day watching movies with my mom! My mom will literally watch anything that she hasnt seen before even if it looks/seems awful (we have such different taste in movies, i hate cop and military propaganda and natural disaster movies but she eats them up. just glad we both dislike fantasy movies). It helps me find cool stuff sometimes, like the jumanji reboot sequel is actually kinda fun if you dont think about it! We won’t even fully pay attention sometimes but still just cool to hang out listening to the same thing

•Once Upon a Time In Hollywood w/ my brother in a theater full of elderly moviegoers who must’ve thought it was like golden age of hollywood kinda movie. we were hollering and hooting @ the home invasion scene.
• Interstellar in IMAX yesterday. never seen it before but I found god in that showing. I mean holy fuck. whole theater bawling our eyes out, guys next to me drank half a bottle of svedka it was a ride.
•Top Gun: Maverick on acid. brother I was in that movie I met Pete Mitchell he saved my life.
•Casablanca on NYE, also on acid. Acid didnt kick in until after the movie tho which was fine cus I initially hated Casablanca when I first watched it but something about seeing it in a theater made me do a complete 180 and I see it as one of the best movies ever made now.
•Wild at Heart on Valentine’s Day with my BOYS. No better way to spend my Valentine’s Day.
•Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, with my pops. we were the only ones in the theater and he was asking me questions like a dad does but it was actually kinda fun this time.
I love da movies.

I love people. I love my friends, my foes, the people that ignore me, the people that tolerate me, the people I don’t know, and the people I’ll always know. My family, extended and immediate, and my strangers, around the corner or around the world. People are what I live for, and what I’m sure to die trying to appease, impress, offend, inspire, but above all else entertain and instruct. Shouts out to Taylor Cohan, Roger Hayn, Aaron Light, Isaac Reynaldo, and Rob Scharlach, Negashi Armada, Robbie Barnett, Ivy Wolk, my everydays, my homies. Shouts out to Pedro Bello, Santangelo, Francis, and the whole AdWorld team as well as Dylan and Lena Redford for the inspiration and the fun. Blu Hunt, Sally Sum, Video Expert, Alec Moeller, Ally Davis, Jackie Kramer, Brooks Skerritt, Bianca my Yung_Nihilist. Dasha (the true one), Colter Fellows, Harrison Fishman, Ben Gordon, Oliver Shahery my New York warriors. Grant, Jon, thank you for the best summer job I’ve ever had. Xander for the best spring break job I’ve ever had. Kennedy, Lily, Isabelle, Viviana, Gibson, David. Tommy, Leigh, Andy, Alex: my boys on the hustle, the movement. Thank you to my exes and my future exes for teaching me, for listening to me, for giving and for taking. Thank you to everyone who’s let me screen their film, and everyone that’s told me never to screen a film again. That’s not everyone I forgot a lot of people. Ben Friedlander. One of few I’ve seen as stressed about a film screening as me. Kate, Casey, Keenan, Edward. My film family. This sounds like a suicide note but it’s an expression of a gratitude I feel every day. I love you.

I love driving. If you’ve sat in my passenger seat you’ll think this answer is bullshit, but it’s true. I drive long distances quite a lot, and I love the meditative aspects of a long trip somewhere. In the summer I drive a 1991 Mercedes 500SL my Dad and I have poured almost double its Kelly Blue Book value into, and I have a nondescript daily driver for the rest of the year. I hope I can buy more cars soon, as I want to burn more and more money on shit I love for the rest of my life.

I write a lot of shit down. I’m an impulsive person, so when I get an idea for something I tend to try to record it before it fades away. It’s how I got into throwing these events actually. The first screening I did in LA came from a note I wrote to myself at my old job on the back of a post-it. It was a few loosely scribbld words, but I remembered how strongly the thought behind it was, and decided to act on it. I’m a big ideas guy, and I try to reel myself in a lot of the time. Writing down the things I want to do helps me greatly.
