Michael GiacchinoWhen I was nine, I asked my Dad, โCan I have your movie camera? That old, wind-up 8-millimeter movie camera thatโs in your drawer?โ And he goes, โSure, take it.โ And I took it, and I started making movies with it, and I started being as creative as I could, and never once in my life did my parents ever say, โ What youโre doing is a waste of time.โ Neverโฆ.. I know there are kids out there that donโt have that support system. So, if youโre out there and youโre listening, listen to me: If you wanna be creative, get out there and do it. Itโs not a waste of time.
