Transcript
00:00I heard this was such a cathartic experience for you, so I wanted to know what was the
00:03biggest impact this film had on you personally and professionally?
00:08The biggest impact, working with someone like Trey, I've been such a fan of, and watching
00:18the film, the first cut, and praying that it fit in his body of work, and luckily it
00:25does, and I'm really proud of that because I'm a huge fan, so yeah, that was the biggest
00:32impact for me.
00:33And what would you say are your long-term goals with filmmaking now, having done this?
00:36Oh, whatever just feels, it's all art to me, so if it connects with me and I feel inspired
00:43to make it, then I'm going to make it.
00:45And I heard that you are dropping the name the weekend, so I wanted to know your decision
00:49behind that, and why was this the right time for that?
00:52We're brainstorming it right now, I feel like we don't have any definite answers, but
00:56I haven't dropped it yet because I'm on tour, so I still got to get out there and see the
01:03fans.
