With the Ford Foundation grant all of a sudden instead of being an artist that had made a couple of short films, I became a filmmaker who dabbled in the arts.

I made short films in school.

Short films don't go too far.

I love film, and I love short films.

I have a lot of incomplete short films and incomplete scripts out there.

When you make documentaries or short films, you have to have eyes and ears in the back of your head and on the sides and all around you. I like that in my films.
