You're making these movies for pennies, there's absolutely nothing to offer anybody, and they will still fight you! "There's no more back-end for him? Well he'll have your back-end! He'll take your first born child!" Producing is totally exhausting.

I love costumes. I love getting dressed up because it really helps my imagination make the leap to believe that I am who I say I am.
