That's the thing I truly enjoy, when you can work with good people who are very talented.

It's about supporting the many talented artists and filmmakers out there trying to create work from that marginalized point of view. Go out and buy tickets to their movies and plays, support their crowd sourcing campaigns, show the industry that there is a viable audience for this work.

I grew up, from ages 8 to 18, watching reruns of 'Star Trek' with my dad and my mom when they got home from work.

If I make a film like 'Better Luck Tomorrow' or 'Finishing the Game,' I'll protect it with everything I have.

I'm so sick of independent films being co-opted by Hollywood. You're making a project that's small, really personal, and the first thing anyone asks in any meeting is, 'Who's in it?' I'm like, 'Are you kidding?'

Annapolis' is a very personal journey about this working-class kid trying to find out who he is, and every time he steps into the ring we get a sense of who he is as a person.
