"I was raised by five women. I'm a lover, not a fighter. Our short film kind of led to this incredible experience of winning an Academy Award and going on stage right after Sidney Poitier. It did what we hoped it would and that was provide us a calling card for us as filmmakers and our sense of humor. I was this kid with a lot of emotion who didn’t quite understand how to deal with it, and being in front of people expressing it publicly somehow made sense
and felt really good." |
