To answer the question, though: I didn't always want to direct. I just liked the idea of it. If a friend was making a short and needed someone who knew screen direction, I would jump in. It would be horrible, but it led to a short, then another, and another. It was like student films. ↗

My body can't put anyone in jeopardy of not making money anymore - my body is just not on the table that way anymore. ↗
