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

I was writing short films and I was going through this really, really, really terrible end of a relationship that I didn't want to be going through. It was too much for me to process and all of a sudden I had this idea for my first feature film and I knew right away I had to start writing it.

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

I had a friend in high school who badly wanted to make movies and would recruit me as an actor. It was always so much fun. I decided, I'm going to go to Hollywood and make movies, which is a thought I'd never had before.

But I always see myself as the filmmaker. I wonder if everybody else sees me more as an actor.

I hope I don't have to act in one of my own projects again.
