Rebellion, Steven Bochco, Illeana Douglas, friends trying to makes a film together, Werner Herzog, you have control over nothing, bawled like a baby, Fairuza Balk, movie palaces, Southland, Duran Duran, Rodrigo García, never give up, Murder in the First, how to get a t-shirt, Ione Skye, there’s a lot of pointing, Lightning Over Water, I’d won a grant, this is like a new movement in movies here in our film school, DIY culture, Stanley Kubrick, telling amazing stories and Paul is Dead.
