How to Get Your Short Out In the World & Write to Your Darkest Instincts

What it’s like to receive polarized reactions
Feeling terrified to share projects with personal subject matter
Career lessons from Ice Age and Mrs.Doubtfire

Pushing past fear and discomfort
Working with a team that believes in your project
Making personal sacrifices while working on projects
Memorable Quotes
“Working on any project takes so much from you…so you better make sure it’s a worthwhile project you really care about.” [18:51]
“You need to take the temperature of the audience, but you also need to take the temperature of yourself. If you just do one or the other, you’re going to get out of balance.” [32:00]

“Get to know yourself as a filmmaker. You are the only you.” [76:42]
