I Don't Think I'm A Total Pessimist,

The Truth Is I've Been Doing Kickstarter Before There Was Kickstarter; There Was No Internet. Social Media Was Writing Letters, Making Phone Calls, Beating The Bushes.

I Am Trying To Stay Away From This Position Of Me "returning To My Roots." As If My Roots Are That I'm Only Comfortable Working On Low-budget, Small Films. That's Not The Case At All.

Cause Mo Better Makes It Mo Better.

This Film [chi-raq]is A Declaration. It's A Scream. It's A Warning. And I Can Really Break It Down To One Scene. That's The Scene Where We Have The Eulogy And Sermon That Is Given By The Great John Cusack.

I'm Very Careful About How I Portray Violence In My Films. I Do Believe That Violence, Especially Violent Video Games, Are Not A Good Thing For Young Kids.
