00:00Relentless is a word that comes up a lot, I have to say, just in filmmaking.
00:05Why?
00:06Because filmmaking requires such a sense of purpose.
00:11And you, as a director, have to be the one who at every moment keeps pushing it forward
00:16because there's no reason for these films to exist other than you make them exist.
00:23You realize them.
00:24You realize them. That's exactly right.
00:27I applied again to graduate school in playwriting, to Yale, NYU, and Juilliard,
00:32and I got rejected from all three.
00:35Yeah.
00:36But, I mean, in a way, it's kind of a good litmus test of,
00:42if you take that as a sign of you shouldn't do this, then you shouldn't do it.
00:50Yeah.
00:50But if you take it as a sign of, like, what do they know? I'll show them.
00:53Well, that's probably a pretty good sign, too.
00:57I mean, I don't believe in pursuing something to the point of, you know,
01:03it's just disappointment and there's no upside to it.
01:07But I do think sometimes you don't want to let the first word on that you get of rejection
01:14to hold you back.
