By the time I'd graduated from school, I'd gotten a decent working knowledge of what you could do with the Mac. I had written a few little things for it, and somehow word got out that I was doing quirky nonintuitive things with the computer that filled certain gaps. I had gotten a phone call to write a piece of animation software. Instead of being paid, I asked to keep the equipment that had to be purchased to do it, always with a mind of trying to make this short film of mine. I was really on life support. I had just enough money to survive. That also contributed to me dropping out of society. I just dedicated every waking hour I had to working on that short.

I never expected anything I'd created to be seen outside of perhaps the Sundance Film Festival.

For me, the filmmaker who has made films that have continued to reinvent themselves is Robert Zemeckis.
