It was a hobby I got into a long time ago, hacking cameras. I was able to make my own using different lenses.

I developed a group of friends around me that were all as crazy as I was about wanting to make films.

I'm from Wisconsin; well, that's where I went to school from, like, sixth grade till I graduated high school.

When things aren't working out for people, the end of the world seems like an easy way to wipe the slate clean.

I am a mechanical techie. I can build things with my hands.

It's a relationship I went through that collapsed my entire view of the world in a very extreme way.

If I have an idea I want to put in a movie, I know what camera will make that look best, and I have ideas for future projects and stuff I'd like to build for those. I think it's just part of how I work, though.
