Meet Me In Montauk.

I Think If Something Resonates, Even If It's Surreal, It's Because It Is Relatable And I Think That That's A Core Issue For Me.

I Do Like Escapism. I Like Going To The Movies On A Friday Night And Seeing Something Fun.

I Love Working With Actors. I Love Visual Things. I Always Intended To Be A Writer Who Directs And A Director Who Writes.

There Is A Lot Of Management Going On With Directing. Maybe That Was The Biggest Surprise-just The Amount Of Tending That I Had To Do. The Different Personalities . . . It's Not My Way, And It's Never Been My Function Before As A Writer. I Tend To Be A Moody And Somewhat Withdrawn Person, And I Felt Very Clearly That I Had To Throw That Away Because That Wasn't Allowed Here - There Were Other People Who Were Going To Be Filling That Role. Sometimes It Became Exhausting, Especially Around The Eleventh Hour Of The Day.

So When I Write Characters And Situations And Relationships, I Try To Sort Of Utilize What I Know About The World, Limited As It Is, And What I Hear From My Friends And See With My Relatives.
