मैंने हाई स्कूल में शिकागो एकेडमी फॉर द आर्ट्स से फिल्म निर्माण शुरू किया। मेरी पहली डॉक्यूमेंट्री बिल नाम के एक बेकार, मोटे, अधेड़ उम्र के कारपेट क्लीनर के बारे में थी, जो अपनी माँ के साथ रहता था, और अन्ना नाम की एक ड्रग की लत वाली वेश्या के साथ उसके प्रेम संबंध पर आधारित थी। मैंने वह तब बनाई थी जब मैं 16 साल का था।

I began filmmaking in high school, at the Chicago Academy for the Arts. My first documentary was about a dysfunctional obese middle-aged carpet cleaner named Bill, who lived with his Mom, and his love affair with Anna, a drug-addicted prostitute. I made that when I was 16.

स्लैमडांस असल में इंडी और बागी स्वभाव का है। सनडांस को साफ तौर पर खतरा महसूस हुआ।

Slamdance actually is indie and rebellious. Sundance obviously felt threatened.

सनडांस अपने सभी कार्यक्रमों में "बागी" होने का दावा करता था, लेकिन वे ऐसे हैं नहीं। सनडांस में दिखाई जाने वाली ज्यादातर फिल्में मल्टी-मिलियन डॉलर की थीं जिन्हें सिनेमाघरों में रिलीज करने की गारंटी पहले ही मिल चुकी थी।

Sundance claimed to be "rebellious" on all of their programs, but they are not. Most of the movies at Sundance were multi-million dollar pictures that were already guaranteed a theatrical release.

विलियम एस. बरोज के सभी दोस्तों ने इसे आगे बढ़ाया और मुझे एक-दूसरे से मिलवाया। मैं कुछ समय के लिए उस बीट परिवार का हिस्सा बन पाया और उस पर एक डॉक्यूमेंट्री बना सका।

All of William S. Burroughs friends pushed it forward and introduced me to one another. I was able to enter into that beat family for a while and document it.

कैलाट्र्स से निकाले जाने के बाद, मैं लॉरेंस कंसास चला गया जहाँ मेरी बहन रहती थी। मैंने विलियम एस. बरोज पर एक डॉक्यूमेंट्री पर काम करना शुरू किया। मुझे अंदाजा नहीं था कि यह इतनी बड़ी फिल्म बन जाएगी।

After I got kicked out of CalArts, I moved to Lawrence Kansas where my sister lived. I began working on A William S. Burroughs documentary. I had no idea it would turn into such a big film.

लेखक और कलाकार आज भी [विलियम बरोज] की तरह लीक से हटकर कुछ करने से डरते हैं... और उन्होंने यह काम 50 के दशक में किया था!

[एलन] गिंसबर्ग ने इसमें पूरी मदद की। वह सबसे बेहतरीन सेल्समैन थे। वह सबसे लोकप्रिय थे। वे आज भी चौंकाने वाले और प्रासंगिक हैं, खासकर [विलियम] बरोज।

[Allen] Ginsberg totally helped that out. He was the best sales person. He was the most pop. They are still shocking and relevant, especially [William] Burroughs.

मैंने हाई स्कूल में 'ऑन द रोड', 'हाउल' और 'नेक्ड लंच' (इसी क्रम में) पढ़ीं। मैं दंग रह गया। लेखन कमाल का था और यह मुझे जिन जगहों पर ले गया, वे और भी अद्भुत थीं। इसने मेरे सोचने के नए रास्ते खोल दिए और इसलिए मैं इस लीक से हटकर चली राह पर चल पड़ा।

I picked up On The Road, Howl, and Naked Lunch (in that order) in high school. I was blown away. The writing was amazing and the places it took me was even more far out. It opened up new avenues of thinking for me and so I went down the beaten road.

मुझे ऐसे लोगों के बारे में डाक्यूमेंट्री बनाना पसंद है जो उस रूढ़िवादी और उबाऊ दुनिया से खुद को अलग कर सकते हैं जिसमें हम फंसे हुए हैं, और या तो अपनी जिंदगी को बेहद अलग तरीके से जीते हैं या ऐसी कला बनाते हैं जो इसकी बेहतरीन आलोचना करती है।

I like documenting people who can break away from the conformist boring world we are stuck in and either live their life in a much more far out way or create art that critiques it well.
