I Came Back And Decided That I Wanted To Go To College For Acting And Got My Family On Board. My Mom, Who Was A Single Mom, Was A Little Reticent, But I Think After That Summer [in The Governor's School], She Saw A Shift In Me And Realized That It Was Something I Wanted More Than Just A Hobby.

I Want To Be Working With Directors Who Are At The Top Of Their Game. I Want To Be Raising The Bar For Myself, And To Me, The Best Way To Do That Is To Prove To Them That I'm The Best For This Job.

We [with Neal Dodson And Corey Moosa] Spent A Lot Of Time Writing, For Lack Of A Better Word, This Manifesto About What We Wanted To Do. We Wanted To Find Work That Was Relevant Socially And That Didn't Take Audiences For Granted.

Our Third Partner [with Neal Dodson] Was This Other Guy Called Corey [moosa], And He Came In With Good Ideas And Also Some Access To Money, And So We Joined Forces And Drew Up A Business Plan And Got Financing For The Beginnings Of The Company. We Had No Idea What We Were Doing Really. We Just Started Looking Through Material And Started Producing Our Own Stuff.
