viral campaign that you had 106 00:05:47,060 --> 00:05:44,190 Keith my understanding 107 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:47,070 is the department well the DOJ kind of 108 00:05:52,580 --> 00:05:48,810 went after you on that can you what's 109 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:52,590 the story behind that was a very 110 00:05:59,030 --> 00:05:55,890 interesting experience so when we 111 00:06:01,310 --> 00:05:59,040 created the film the idea was that the 112 00:06:03,050 --> 00:06:01,320 film was going to inspire people to jump 113 00:06:05,570 --> 00:06:03,060 on their phones and start googling all 114 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:05,580 the facts behind the Phoenix lights and 115 00:06:10,130 --> 00:06:07,530 all the incidents that were sort of tied 116 00:06:13,970 --> 00:06:10,140 to the conspiracies around that time and 117 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:13,980 that incident so we had created fake 118 00:06:20,030 --> 00:06:17,930 news sites missing-person sites we had 119 00:06:21,350 --> 00:06:20,040 investigative journalists and all these 120 00:06:22,910 --> 00:06:21,360 social media characters made about 121 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:22,920 twenty websites that we created and 122 00:06:27,050 --> 00:06:24,570 about a dozen social media characters 123 00:06:29,180 --> 00:06:27,060 and they would blog and point to all 124 00:06:31,340 --> 00:06:29,190 this hidden footage that we shot while 125 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:31,350 we were shooting the movie and we kind 126 00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:32,610 of hit it all over the internet like a 127 00:06:36,710 --> 00:06:34,290 scavenger hunt so people would find all 128 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:36,720 the footage and if they heard about our 129 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:38,610 story if they looked it up they wouldn't 130 00:06:43,100 --> 00:06:40,170 find the film site they would find some 131 00:06:45,140 --> 00:06:43,110 real site and we partnered up with 132 00:06:48,110 --> 00:06:45,150 Fandango and lootcrate 133 00:06:50,330 --> 00:06:48,120 and Shazam and AMC and Regal and all 134 00:06:51,890 --> 00:06:50,340 these big like corporations that would 135 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:51,900 normally never support an independent 136 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:54,690 film and especially a UFO film talking 137 00:06:59,150 --> 00:06:56,930 about the subject matter we were doing 138 00:07:01,970 --> 00:06:59,160 but that was also in conjunction with 139 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:01,980 all these hidden websites we had so we 140 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:03,570 have this one site that fortunately 141 00:07:08,270 --> 00:07:05,610 still up it's called Maricopa missing 142 00:07:10,700 --> 00:07:08,280 comm and it was the original site that 143 00:07:14,210 --> 00:07:10,710 was this missing persons very official 144 00:07:15,710 --> 00:07:14,220 looking site that you could go there and 145 00:07:17,810 --> 00:07:15,720 you'd see these cases these long-term 146 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:17,820 unresolved cases of these four guys they 147 00:07:22,909 --> 00:07:20,810 went missing back in March of 1997 and 148 00:07:25,670 --> 00:07:22,919 we're not asking for any money we're not 149 00:07:27,230 --> 00:07:25,680 asking for anyone else to report any 150 00:07:28,909 --> 00:07:27,240 other cases it's just really 151 00:07:30,260 --> 00:07:28,919 investigating these four disappearances 152 00:07:34,730 --> 00:07:30,270 and if you go there it's pretty 153 00:07:36,860 --> 00:07:34,740 authentic so I had it hidden privately 154 00:07:41,270 --> 00:07:36,870 registered through your your European 155 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:41,280 ISP and basically nothing would come 156 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:42,930 back to me because the people saw key 157 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:44,130 their arm and call of duty and 158 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:45,090 everything else they would know that 159 00:07:51,740 --> 00:07:48,930 this is just a viral campaign so we got 160 00:07:53,230 --> 00:07:51,750 this very interesting very scared letter 161 00:07:55,820 --> 00:07:53,240 from the legal department from our 162 00:07:56,589 --> 00:07:55,830 company in Germany where we had it 163 00:07:59,079 --> 00:07:56,599 privately read 164 00:08:01,419 --> 00:07:59,089 and they said that the United States 165 00:08:03,159 --> 00:08:01,429 government is demanding that they turn 166 00:08:05,919 --> 00:08:03,169 over all of our personal information to 167 00:08:08,079 --> 00:08:05,929 them within the next 48 hours or they 168 00:08:09,939 --> 00:08:08,089 were going to hand us over to the US 169 00:08:13,089 --> 00:08:09,949 authorities and so we were like what the 170 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:13,099 heck is this at this attache dossier and 171 00:08:17,529 --> 00:08:15,770 it's like this seven page breakdown of 172 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:17,539 our website one of our websites this 173 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:20,770 Maricopa missing site and it's basically 174 00:08:25,239 --> 00:08:23,330 accusing us that we're impersonating a 175 00:08:28,149 --> 00:08:25,249 government agency we're not a dot gov or 176 00:08:30,279 --> 00:08:28,159 anything but that we are using the site 177 00:08:32,860 --> 00:08:30,289 as bounty hunters to track down these 178 00:08:36,249 --> 00:08:32,870 missing guys who are basically actors 179 00:08:38,319 --> 00:08:36,259 from our movie and it was a five hundred 180 00:08:41,949 --> 00:08:38,329 thousand dollar fine and a fight 181 00:08:43,509 --> 00:08:41,959 imprisonment nice and so they had no 182 00:08:44,620 --> 00:08:43,519 idea these actors these are just actors 183 00:08:46,389 --> 00:08:44,630 and these were made-up characters they 184 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:46,399 didn't investigate the people they just 185 00:08:50,199 --> 00:08:47,810 thought were using the public to track 186 00:08:51,699 --> 00:08:50,209 these guys down and so it was a little 187 00:08:54,519 --> 00:08:51,709 tense a couple dates and we've got our 188 00:08:56,620 --> 00:08:54,529 lawyers on the DOJ they could laugh 189 00:08:58,809 --> 00:08:56,630 about it and they said well move the 190 00:09:00,129 --> 00:08:58,819 disclaimers to the front page and so if 191 00:09:01,420 --> 00:09:00,139 you go there you'll notice at the bottom 192 00:09:05,110 --> 00:09:01,430 it says we're not affiliated with the 193 00:09:06,220 --> 00:09:05,120 Department of Justice in any way but but 194 00:09:08,980 --> 00:09:06,230 what was really interesting was that 195 00:09:11,139 --> 00:09:08,990 that campaign had been going for two 196 00:09:12,970 --> 00:09:11,149 years before the film started and we 197 00:09:14,530 --> 00:09:12,980 were at Comic Con in a number of other 198 00:09:16,449 --> 00:09:14,540 places where we'd have missing persons 199 00:09:19,179 --> 00:09:16,459 posters and other things and there's an 200 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:19,189 800 number there that you can call and 201 00:09:22,509 --> 00:09:20,930 it's a real number you can call it 202 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:22,519 there's hidden extensions that we give 203 00:09:26,829 --> 00:09:24,290 out and if you leave a message you 204 00:09:28,629 --> 00:09:26,839 actually opt into our viral campaign and 205 00:09:30,340 --> 00:09:28,639 then it transcribes your message and has 206 00:09:32,740 --> 00:09:30,350 a wave file that we can then put up on 207 00:09:35,139 --> 00:09:32,750 our websites so it's kind of a fun what 208 00:09:37,090 --> 00:09:35,149 we call an Arg an alternate reality game 209 00:09:39,429 --> 00:09:37,100 and it really pulled people in very 210 00:09:42,009 --> 00:09:39,439 similar to what the Blair Witch Project 211 00:09:43,629 --> 00:09:42,019 did and what Dean did on his projects to 212 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:43,639 begin with and we were kind of following 213 00:09:47,410 --> 00:09:45,290 suit with that and then bringing it for 214 00:09:48,879 --> 00:09:47,420 our film nice they basically got 215 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:48,889 investigated by the Department of 216 00:09:56,530 --> 00:09:51,050 Justice because of her viral campaign 217 00:09:58,749 --> 00:09:56,540 and fictional characters exactly Keitha 218 00:10:00,249 --> 00:09:58,759 you based the movie off the Phoenix 219 00:10:03,220 --> 00:10:00,259 lights incident which is something that 220 00:10:04,750 --> 00:10:03,230 really happened back in 97 what was it 221 00:10:09,009 --> 00:10:04,760 about that particular case that got your 222 00:10:10,150 --> 00:10:09,019 attention well I grew up in Arizona the 223 00:10:11,710 --> 00:10:10,160 thing that was really bad 224 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:11,720 everyone Arizona kind of knows that 225 00:10:15,610 --> 00:10:13,850 event because 30,000 people witnessed 226 00:10:17,319 --> 00:10:15,620 this fleet of lights that went from the 227 00:10:18,999 --> 00:10:17,329 Nevada border all the way down across 228 00:10:21,519 --> 00:10:19,009 the state crossed over 229 00:10:22,930 --> 00:10:21,529 you know the airspace in Phoenix there's 230 00:10:24,819 --> 00:10:22,940 reports that the airport may have shut 231 00:10:28,210 --> 00:10:24,829 down for a half hour that they scrambled 232 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:28,220 f-16s from Luke Air Force Base and there 233 00:10:32,829 --> 00:10:29,689 was these weird conspiracies about it 234 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:32,839 because the governor first denied it and 235 00:10:36,220 --> 00:10:34,370 he brought out his chief of staff and an 236 00:10:38,829 --> 00:10:36,230 alien costume with handcuffs and said 237 00:10:40,540 --> 00:10:38,839 that's who was responsible but then when 238 00:10:41,939 --> 00:10:40,550 he stepped down from office he actually 239 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:41,949 came out and said he did see a 240 00:10:47,050 --> 00:10:45,170 spacecraft or multiple spacecraft John 241 00:10:48,910 --> 00:10:47,060 McCain came out and started an 242 00:10:50,650 --> 00:10:48,920 investigation the vice mayor did an 243 00:10:52,179 --> 00:10:50,660 investigation she was sort of out stood 244 00:10:54,550 --> 00:10:52,189 because of all of her prying into what 245 00:10:55,689 --> 00:10:54,560 was going on but there's so many other 246 00:10:58,420 --> 00:10:55,699 things that were going on during that 247 00:10:59,889 --> 00:10:58,430 time that you know Arizona had an 248 00:11:01,929 --> 00:10:59,899 unbelievably high number of 249 00:11:05,110 --> 00:11:01,939 disappearances and missing-persons cases 250 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:05,120 and suicides they had a rise in cattle 251 00:11:09,249 --> 00:11:07,370 deaths unexplained cattle deaths but 252 00:11:11,019 --> 00:11:09,259 most importantly that week was when the 253 00:11:13,269 --> 00:11:11,029 hey Bob comet was coming 254 00:11:14,949 --> 00:11:13,279 the closest point to the earth and 255 00:11:17,410 --> 00:11:14,959 people going out to see it because you 256 00:11:19,269 --> 00:11:17,420 could see it with a naked eye and 257 00:11:22,150 --> 00:11:19,279 Heaven's Gate cult which used to be 258 00:11:24,670 --> 00:11:22,160 based in Phoenix moved had just moved 259 00:11:27,460 --> 00:11:24,680 400 miles away to Rancho Santa Fe and 260 00:11:29,350 --> 00:11:27,470 when they saw this comet there was a 261 00:11:30,879 --> 00:11:29,360 shadow that was in the trail of the 262 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:30,889 comet and they thought this may have 263 00:11:34,540 --> 00:11:32,930 been a spaceship coming to take him off 264 00:11:37,210 --> 00:11:34,550 the planet and it was the largest mass 265 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:37,220 suicide in US history so all those 266 00:11:42,429 --> 00:11:39,050 things all happened within about 10 days 267 00:11:45,340 --> 00:11:42,439 of each other and two of the pilots that 268 00:11:47,499 --> 00:11:45,350 were from davis-monthan Air Force Base 269 00:11:49,300 --> 00:11:47,509 who flew the a-10s that were reportedly 270 00:11:51,670 --> 00:11:49,310 the ones who dropped the flares that the 271 00:11:53,370 --> 00:11:51,680 military blamed the sighting on two of 272 00:11:56,290 --> 00:11:53,380 those pilots died mysteriously 273 00:11:58,059 --> 00:11:56,300 immediately after the sighting within 274 00:11:59,829 --> 00:11:58,069 about a month the one of the guys that 275 00:12:03,730 --> 00:11:59,839 was involved and then his training pilot 276 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:03,740 so I thought that growing up in Arizona 277 00:12:08,829 --> 00:12:07,370 and knowing all these stories being able 278 00:12:10,780 --> 00:12:08,839 to tell a fictional story of my 279 00:12:12,610 --> 00:12:10,790 characters weaving through this history 280 00:12:14,079 --> 00:12:12,620 could be a great way to inspire people 281 00:12:15,819 --> 00:12:14,089 to start to doing the research and 282 00:12:20,139 --> 00:12:15,829 looking into the conspiracies behind 283 00:12:22,509 --> 00:12:20,149 this and and but what was I was kind of 284 00:12:25,340 --> 00:12:22,519 formulating an idea about this and while 285 00:12:27,049 --> 00:12:25,350 I was working on the call of duty see 286 00:12:29,239 --> 00:12:27,059 we used to work with a tremendous amount 287 00:12:30,949 --> 00:12:29,249 of I'm still do a lot of military 288 00:12:34,669 --> 00:12:30,959 advisors and other people that come from 289 00:12:36,199 --> 00:12:34,679 all walks of the military and a lot of 290 00:12:38,809 --> 00:12:36,209 these guys knowing I came from Arizona 291 00:12:40,850 --> 00:12:38,819 would after our sessions and working 292 00:12:42,139 --> 00:12:40,860 with the actors would then come and say 293 00:12:43,699 --> 00:12:42,149 hey well you know if you're from Arizona 294 00:12:45,439 --> 00:12:43,709 you know about the Phoenix lights right 295 00:12:47,449 --> 00:12:45,449 and I was like of course everyone knows 296 00:12:48,859 --> 00:12:47,459 about the Phoenix lights and they would 297 00:12:51,139 --> 00:12:48,869 say yeah but do you know what really 298 00:12:53,359 --> 00:12:51,149 happened and these would be guys that 299 00:12:55,489 --> 00:12:53,369 would be sharing stories with me about 300 00:12:57,619 --> 00:12:55,499 the pilot sightings and what happened 301 00:13:00,169 --> 00:12:57,629 and didn't want to go on record because 302 00:13:01,549 --> 00:13:00,179 of some of the the way that the pilots 303 00:13:04,790 --> 00:13:01,559 and military get treated when they would 304 00:13:06,439 --> 00:13:04,800 report things that were unidentified and 305 00:13:08,329 --> 00:13:06,449 going back to our conversation from last 306 00:13:09,439 --> 00:13:08,339 week that was like a really big thing a 307 00:13:10,819 --> 00:13:09,449 lot of these pilots it's one of the 308 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:10,829 first times that you're seeing pilots 309 00:13:15,919 --> 00:13:13,170 actively coming forward and risking 310 00:13:17,989 --> 00:13:15,929 being chastised within the military so I 311 00:13:20,030 --> 00:13:17,999 was sort of getting wind of this five or 312 00:13:22,639 --> 00:13:20,040 six years ago or a little bit more when 313 00:13:25,340 --> 00:13:22,649 I was writing my script so I decided to 314 00:13:28,220 --> 00:13:25,350 sort of incorporate this idea of a Navy 315 00:13:30,259 --> 00:13:28,230 pilot coming forward and admitting to a 316 00:13:32,269 --> 00:13:30,269 military engagement that took place over 317 00:13:34,970 --> 00:13:32,279 these great mountains back in 97 and 318 00:13:37,879 --> 00:13:34,980 we've the story of my guys who witnessed 319 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:37,889 this event all in the backdrop of all 320 00:13:42,259 --> 00:13:40,410 these different conspiracy theories and 321 00:13:44,689 --> 00:13:42,269 other ideas that was going on in Arizona 322 00:13:46,549 --> 00:13:44,699 at the time so it was a great first 323 00:13:48,739 --> 00:13:46,559 movie to kind of play in a fictional 324 00:13:52,129 --> 00:13:48,749 space wanted to let our listeners know 325 00:13:54,049 --> 00:13:52,139 who are not aware of this event there 326 00:13:56,419 --> 00:13:54,059 are some people out there that are not 327 00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:56,429 familiar with this mass sighting that 328 00:14:00,410 --> 00:13:58,290 occurred over the US states of Arizona 329 00:14:04,460 --> 00:14:00,420 Nevada and the Mexican state of Sonora 330 00:14:07,340 --> 00:14:04,470 on March 13th in 1997 Keith your Phoenix

00:15:09,660 into this world that I really didn't 357 00:15:13,130 --> 00:15:11,160 know a lot about I've done a lot of 358 00:15:15,350 --> 00:15:13,140 research but didn't know a lot of people 359 00:15:18,740 --> 00:15:15,360 in the community and so going through 360 00:15:21,470 --> 00:15:18,750 Roswell going to the AI UFO see being an 361 00:15:24,110 --> 00:15:21,480 alien con and becoming

--> 00:15:34,459 did a movie that was really stirring 368 00:15:37,610 --> 00:15:36,540 Australia I mentioned that yeah I was 369 00:15:39,949 --> 00:15:37,620 gonna ask you about that 370 00:15:42,139 --> 00:15:39,959 how would that project was regarding 371 00:15:43,910 --> 00:15:42,149 Nick poke Stanford man least beagle and 372 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:43,920 Alejandro Rojas can you

a 376 00:15:56,660 --> 00:15:53,220 nationwide release of the film in five 377 00:15:58,280 --> 00:15:56,670 hundred cities and as part of that they 378 00:16:00,500 --> 00:15:58,290 had asked us to produce some additional 379 00:16:02,389 --> 00:16:00,510 content that would be unique to the 380 00:16:03,470 --> 00:16:02,399 broadcast of the film so we'd show the 381 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:03,480 film and then have this additional 382 00:16:09,740 --> 00:16:06,930 content so we premiered the movie at the 383 00:16:11,810 --> 00:16:09,750 International UFO Congress for about 384 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:11,820 five or six thousand people and then 385 00:16:17,870 --> 00:16:14,970 immediately after that Stanton Friedman 386 00:16:20,329 --> 00:16:17,880 and Alejandro Rojas and Lee Spiegel and 387 00:16:22,939 --> 00:16:20,339 Nick Pope all sat down with me for about 388 00:16:24,980 --> 00:16:22,949 a couple hours and we shot this 389 00:16:26,990 --> 00:16:24,990 roundtable discussion called full 390 00:16:29,449 --> 00:16:27,000 disclosure and we really went into the 391 00:16:31,189 --> 00:16:29,459 fact and fiction behind the movie and 392 00:16:34,100 --> 00:16:31,199 the Phoenix lights and talked about the 393 00:16:36,139 --> 00:16:34,110 event talked about the reality of you 394 00:16:37,519 --> 00:16:36,149 know why these things happen you know 395 00:16:39,199 --> 00:16:37,529 these events have been reported over 396 00:16:41,449 --> 00:16:39,209 years especially the black triangle 397 00:16:43,970 --> 00:16:41,459 craft that we're kind of called out both 398 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:43,980 at the Phoenix incident and Belgium and 399 00:16:47,870 --> 00:16:46,290 a lot of other events in the past and so 400 00:16:49,610 --> 00:16:47,880 it was amazing for me just to be in the 401 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:49,620 room with these guys and asking them the 402 00:16:51,530 --> 00:16:50,850 same kind of questions we're talking 403 00:16:53,300 --> 00:16:51,540 here 404 00:16:55,639 --> 00:16:53,310 but really dive into these cases and 405 00:16:57,499 --> 00:16:55,649 understand why there's similarities why 406 00:17:00,499 --> 00:16:57,509 the military has been reluctant to 407 00:17:02,269 --> 00:17:00,509 reporting these these events and why my 408 00:17:05,689 --> 00:17:02,279 film was sort of touching on a lot of 409 00:17:08,510 --> 00:17:05,699 these these points and that and leading 410 00:17:10,039 --> 00:17:08,520 into why we did like so interesting 411 00:17:12,470 --> 00:17:10,049 about our film and what's been happening 412 00:17:15,590 --> 00:17:12,480 recently is we shot a lot of footage 413 00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:15,600 from the military's point of view in our 414 00:17:19,490 --> 00:17:17,579 movie we shot on FLIR cameras were you 415 00:17:22,340 --> 00:17:19,500 actually involved a lot of like real 416 00:17:23,870 --> 00:17:22,350 military sort of footage and composited 417 00:17:25,939 --> 00:17:23,880 our footage into that so it looks very 418 00:17:28,340 --> 00:17:25,949 realistic and that was released as part 419 00:17:32,180 --> 00:17:28,350 of our UFO campaign or our sort of our 420 00:17:33,980 --> 00:17:32,190 viral campaign so when all the footage 421 00:17:35,510 --> 00:17:33,990 from the Nimitz and for the tic-tock 422 00:17:37,940 --> 00:17:35,520 footage and the gimbal footage started 423 00:17:40,430 --> 00:17:37,950 to come out people thought this is part 424 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:40,440 of our viral campaign and I'm just shot 425 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:42,330 up into the top 10 on iTunes this last 426 00:17:47,780 --> 00:17:44,490 year and has been doing very very well 427 00:17:50,180 --> 00:17:47,790 again and so I was never intending to 428 00:17:53,180 --> 00:17:50,190 hoax people or try to sort of use that 429 00:17:54,950 --> 00:17:53,190 to sort of betray sort of the interest 430 00:17:57,830 --> 00:17:54,960 in researching what's going on our 431 00:17:59,930 --> 00:17:57,840 interest was really to promote the idea 432 00:18:01,220 --> 00:17:59,940 that younger generations will start 433 00:18:03,110 --> 00:18:01,230 researching what's really going on and 434 00:18:05,299 --> 00:18:03,120 it's finally starting to come out and 435 00:18:07,070 --> 00:18:05,309 especially yeah you had mentioned before 436 00:18:09,140 --> 00:18:07,080 we came on that alejandra tried to 437 00:18:12,980 --> 00:18:09,150 debunk you when he first saw a viral 438 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:12,990 campaign between the Justice Department 439 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:14,730 and Alejandro trying to debunk you you 440 00:18:19,250 --> 00:18:17,010 were having a tough road to get get 441 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:19,260 there we were we were yeah we were 442 00:18:23,299 --> 00:18:21,690 having a kind of a rough start because I 443 00:18:25,220 --> 00:18:23,309 started the viral campaign a couple 444 00:18:26,570 --> 00:18:25,230 years before and we're creating these 445 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:26,580 websites and spraying these viral 446 00:18:32,140 --> 00:18:28,650 characters these social media characters 447 00:18:35,990 --> 00:18:32,150 and and starting to release footage and 448 00:18:38,870 --> 00:18:36,000 Alejandro who's very well researched and 449 00:18:41,210 --> 00:18:38,880 and very knowledgeable and really pays 450 00:18:43,220 --> 00:18:41,220 the most attention to all the details 451 00:18:47,060 --> 00:18:43,230 that are out there and was also hosting 452 00:18:48,980 --> 00:18:47,070 a show out in Phoenix he found our viral 453 00:18:52,549 --> 00:18:48,990 campaign on a number of different areas 454 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:52,559 and he reached out to one of our main 455 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:54,210 investigators are quote-unquote 456 00:18:59,149 --> 00:18:56,490 investigators and was talking about the 457 00:19:01,010 --> 00:18:59,159 fact that he had footage john greenwald 458 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:01,020 from the black vault also had 459 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:03,090 information and he wrote to us and a 460 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:04,290 number of other people who were very 461 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:05,250 well researched 462 00:19:08,060 --> 00:19:06,690 started right to us because they saw the 463 00:19:11,570 --> 00:19:08,070 footage we were putting out that looked 464 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:11,580 very real and I was still about a year 465 00:19:15,590 --> 00:19:13,770 away from releasing the movie and I 466 00:19:19,010 --> 00:19:15,600 couldn't spill the beans I couldn't 467 00:19:21,230 --> 00:19:19,020 acknowledge what we were doing so I was 468 00:19:22,610 --> 00:19:21,240 sort of playing silence which did not go 469 00:19:26,090 --> 00:19:22,620 over well with Alejandro 470 00:19:31,100 --> 00:19:26,100 so Alejandro doing more and more 471 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:31,110 research and one of the investigators in 472 00:19:35,660 --> 00:19:34,050 our campaign on one of our sites minded 473

and it was an 476 00:19:44,360 --> 00:19:42,180 actor it was one of our actors James 477 00:19:47,690 --> 00:19:44,370 Patrick Stewart who portrays one of the 478 00:19:49,580 --> 00:19:47,700 investigators and and James Patrick 479 00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:49,590 Stewart is also well known because he's 480 00:19:54,500 --> 00:19:53,130 on he was in Seinfeld he was in General 481 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:54,510 Hospital he's been in a lot of movies 482 00:19:59,030 --> 00:19:56,010 and television shows I work with him in 483 00:20:01,490 --> 00:19:59,040 a lot of video games and someone or 484 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:01,500 someone Alejandra's company recognized 485 00:20:06,350 --> 00:20:04,410 that actor recognized him from our viral 486 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:06,360 campaign and put it together that all 487 00:20:13,190 --> 00:20:08,250 these were connected and he said this 488 00:20:15,650 --> 00:20:13,200 must be fake massive article and on on 489 00:20:17,150 --> 00:20:15,660 his and his broadcast show and said I 490 00:20:19,310 --> 00:20:17,160 don't know who these guys are but this 491 00:20:20,810 --> 00:20:19,320 is if this is fake that means this must 492 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:20,820 be fake that means this is fake and he 493 00:20:24,740 --> 00:20:22,410 connected everything a year before 494 00:20:25,970 --> 00:20:24,750 everything was coming out and I knew 495 00:20:27,590 --> 00:20:25,980 people were gonna figure this out but I 496 00:20:30,470 --> 00:20:27,600 did figure is gonna be alejandro so 497 00:20:32,510 --> 00:20:30,480 quickly so I was actually talking with 498 00:20:34,190 --> 00:20:32,520 Alejandro's boss about doing a 499 00:20:36,650 --> 00:20:34,200 television show about the documentary 500 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:36,660 about what we were gonna do so I reached 501 00:20:41,870 --> 00:20:39,930 out to his boss and I said hey your guy 502 00:20:43,820 --> 00:20:41,880 is about to unravel everything that 503 00:20:45,500 --> 00:20:43,830 we're about to do for this movie and he 504 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:45,510 said yeah he goes he picks us really 505 00:20:50,060 --> 00:20:47,250 seriously he police's the internet you 506 00:20:51,860 --> 00:20:50,070 know and he doesn't like and I said well 507 00:20:53,570 --> 00:20:51,870 I'm trying to hoax I'm trying I'm trying 508 00:20:55,250 --> 00:20:53,580 to educate people and get them excited 509 00:20:57,530 --> 00:20:55,260 about this subject matter because when 510 00:20:59,570 --> 00:20:57,540 you go to the UFO festivals the youngest 511 00:21:03,290 --> 00:20:59,580 person in the room is like 55 or 60 512 00:21:05,450 --> 00:21:03,300 years old you don't you don't see these 513 00:21:07,130 --> 00:21:05,460 18 year olds excited about aliens but 514 00:21:08,780 --> 00:21:07,140 every movie and every video game is 515 00:21:10,340 --> 00:21:08,790 about aliens but and they we just sort 516 00:21:13,910 --> 00:21:10,350 of take it for granted that aliens exist 517 00:21:16,130 --> 00:21:13,920 it's like how can they not but but all 518 00:21:17,570 --> 00:21:16,140 the research is all done by a different 519 00:21:19,010 --> 00:21:17,580 generation so this movie was really 520 00:21:20,330 --> 00:21:19,020 meant to sort of inspire younger 521 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:20,340 generation you get involved which it's 522 00:21:26,450 --> 00:21:22,530 been doing and with 20 million people we 523 00:21:29,150 --> 00:21:26,460 were starting to really do that and so 524 00:21:30,470 --> 00:21:29,160 he said so Alejandro's boss says yeah he 525 00:21:33,830 --> 00:21:30,480 goes you got to call him and you got to 526 00:21:36,230 --> 00:21:33,840 talk to him and so I called up Alejandro 527 00:21:39,230 --> 00:21:36,240 and boy that first conversation he goes 528 00:21:44,060 --> 00:21:39,240 well you know what it's my job to expose 529 00:21:45,740 --> 00:21:44,070 people like you and and I was like I'm 530 00:21:47,300 --> 00:21:45,750 like hey hey hey this is not what it's 531 00:21:50,210 --> 00:21:47,310 about and so we had we had this like 532 00:21:52,130 --> 00:21:50,220 two-hour conversation and over the pier 533 00:21:53,270 --> 00:21:52,140 of this conversation he he got it he 534 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:53,280 understood what I was trying to do and 535 00:21:56,650 --> 00:21:55,290 he goes wow you're you're not trying to 536 00:22:00,020 --> 00:21:56,660 hook thing you are trying to bring this 537 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:00,030 awareness through you know making people 538 00:22:05,150 --> 00:22:02,250 think this is real and then they find 539 00:22:06,140 --> 00:22:05,160 all the research right and so so we 540 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:06,150 ended up becoming really good friends 541 00:22:11,150 --> 00:22:08,010 over the period period of this phone 542 00:22:12,650 --> 00:22:11,160 call and at the end of the call he we 543 00:22:15,110 --> 00:22:12,660 kind of had a moment of silence there 544 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:15,120 and he said well I was like well what 545 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:17,610 are we gonna do and he goes well you 546 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:19,770 gotta come on my show and you gotta talk 547 00:22:23,630 --> 00:22:22,290 about this and I was like well well wait 548 00:22:25,340 --> 00:22:23,640 a second might might borrow campaigns 549 00:22:27,620 --> 00:22:25,350 that is still going my movies not come 550 00:22:30,380 --> 00:22:27,630 out for another year how are we gonna do 551 00:22:32,270 --> 00:22:30,390 that and he goes well I have to I can't 552 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:32,280 ignore this I've already you know put 553 00:22:35,060 --> 00:22:33,570 out articles I've already talked about 554 00:22:37,430 --> 00:22:35,070 this I have to tell people what's going 555 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:37,440 on so we came up with this really 556 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:38,970 interesting idea because he has millions 557 00:22:45,050 --> 00:22:42,570 of listeners to his to his show and so 558 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:45,060 what we decided to do was we came up 559 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:48,090 with a hashtag that says disclosed now 560 00:22:53,930 --> 00:22:51,330 and any part of our viral campaign that 561 00:22:57,530 --> 00:22:53,940 we released would be this hashtag 562 00:22:59,330 --> 00:22:57,540 disclosed now and anytime the audience 563 00:23:02,030 --> 00:22:59,340 saw that and we revealed this to all his 564 00:23:03,980 --> 00:23:02,040 listeners to say look we have the 565 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:03,990 fiction of the movie and we don't want 566 00:23:08,180 --> 00:23:05,730 the moviegoers and the regular audience 567 00:23:09,950 --> 00:23:08,190 to blow sort of the surprise of what's 568 00:23:11,210 --> 00:23:09,960 going on but we also don't want people 569 00:23:13,490 --> 00:23:11,220 think we're hosting so if you're in the 570 00:23:16,190 --> 00:23:13,500 community and you see just closed now 571 00:23:18,020 --> 00:23:16,200 that means it's us and you know that 572 00:23:19,820 --> 00:23:18,030 we're not faking anyone this is where 573 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:19,830 you guys have inside knowledge but for 574 00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:20,850 the rest of the world kind of keep the 575 00:23:23,990 --> 00:23:22,110 secret so they kind of enjoy the 576 00:23:25,940 --> 00:23:24,000 spoilers work and that's how we ended up 577 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:25,950 launching the movie and we went to the I 578 00:23:29,630 --> 00:23:27,570 UFO see and then premiered there and 579 00:23:32,390 --> 00:23:29,640 then the rest kind of went forward so 580 00:23:34,790 --> 00:23:32,400 question how did you 581 00:23:37,820 --> 00:23:34,800 how did you meet the person that we all 582 00:23:44,810 --> 00:23:37,830 love to have on our panels on a regular 583 00:23:46,730 --> 00:23:44,820 and that's Dean Alioto so so interesting 584 00:23:48,170 --> 00:23:46,740 story and Dean Dean's gonna bite yeah I 585 00:23:49,490 --> 00:23:48,180 think I want Dean to kind of weigh in 586 00:23:51,980 --> 00:23:49,500 from his perspective because we had a 587 00:23:54,620 --> 00:23:51,990 really good laugh about this much much 588 00:23:57,410 --> 00:23:54,630 after the fact so when I was writing the 589 00:24:00,740 --> 00:23:57,420 script for the for the movie I was 590 00:24:03,110 --> 00:24:00,750 approached by a pretty very large film 591 00:24:04,340 --> 00:24:03,120 producer and an investor this investor 592 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:04,350 that was interested in financing the 593 00:24:09,530 --> 00:24:06,330 film was working with this film producer 594 00:24:11,180 --> 00:24:09,540 and they really loved the concept of 595 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:11,190 what I was trying to do this idea of a 596 00:24:16,610 --> 00:24:13,290 documentary that has found footage in it 597 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:16,620 and putting this thing together and the 598 00:24:21,170 --> 00:24:18,210 investor said well you know we actually 599 00:24:24,890 --> 00:24:21,180 had the rights to this other film that's 600 00:24:26,270 --> 00:24:24,900 a found footage alien film and we want 601 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:26,280 to make this film and we want you to 602 00:24:32,090 --> 00:24:29,610 direct it so I was like okay 603 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:32,100 and so they presented me with the story 604 00:24:38,330 --> 00:24:34,530 and the idea of it and and what it turns 605 00:24:41,510 --> 00:24:38,340 out it was based on this film that had 606 00:24:42,950 --> 00:24:41,520 been done years before and had been 607 00:24:46,130 --> 00:24:42,960 released very secretly and had been 608 00:24:48,770 --> 00:24:46,140 remade but it was really the original 609 00:24:50,630 --> 00:24:48,780 the very first found footage film out 610 00:24:53,450 --> 00:24:50,640 there before Blair Witch before anything 611 00:24:56,900 --> 00:24:53,460 else and the film had sort of been lost 612 00:24:59,690 --> 00:24:56,910 and then videos of it had kind of leaked 613 00:25:01,280 --> 00:24:59,700 online and as each of the videos had 614 00:25:03,230 --> 00:25:01,290 been copied especially because there are 615 00:25:05,620 --> 00:25:03,240 analog copies they had been degraded and 616 00:25:08,420 --> 00:25:05,630 degraded and it made the footage look 617 00:25:10,820 --> 00:25:08,430 much much more authentic to the point 618 00:25:13,010 --> 00:25:10,830 that it became like this real debated 619 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:13,020 sighting and this this sort of alien 620 00:25:18,530 --> 00:25:16,290 abduction story of this family in this 621 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:18,540 cabin in the woods that witnessed this 622 00:25:24,110 --> 00:25:22,770 event and so so it was a different story 623 00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:24,120 than what I was doing but kind of in the 624 00:25:28,310 --> 00:25:26,370 same space and so we've gone forward 625 00:25:31,130 --> 00:25:28,320 about this they wanted me to direct it 626 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:31,140 it turns out that the producer said well 627 00:25:36,170 --> 00:25:32,970 actually the guy who originally did this 628 00:25:37,580 --> 00:25:36,180 he's going to direct it and so they were 629 00:25:39,050 --> 00:25:37,590 gonna finance both films and then 630 00:25:40,490 --> 00:25:39,060 finally the whole thing kind of fell 631 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:40,500 apart as a lot of things do in Hollywood 632 00:25:45,170 --> 00:25:42,930 I went on my own way had already written 633 00:25:46,940 --> 00:25:45,180 my script and shots and test footage 634 00:25:48,290 --> 00:25:46,950 and went and shot my film and never 635 00:25:50,870 --> 00:25:48,300 ended moving forward with them 636 00:25:53,360 --> 00:25:50,880 turns out years later I ended up getting 637 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:53,370 introduced to Dean and it was Dean's 638 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:55,290 film it was deemed that was doing it and 639 00:25:58,580 --> 00:25:57,210 the whole controversy between him 640 00:26:00,500 --> 00:25:58,590 directing and me directing and these 641 00:26:03,350 --> 00:26:00,510 film producers try to kind of fight 642 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:03,360 between us to do this movie kind of 643 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:05,250 stopped us from meeting and when we 644 00:26:11,870 --> 00:26:08,970 realized how sort of a similar minded we 645 00:26:14,120 --> 00:26:11,880 were in our same sort of interests and 646 00:26:16,670 --> 00:26:14,130 approach to filmmaking and and this idea 647 00:26:19,340 --> 00:26:16,680 of sort of inspiring the audience the 648 00:26:21,740 --> 00:26:19,350 kind of films we were making we've 649 00:26:23,150 --> 00:26:21,750 become pretty close friends and so it's 650 00:26:25,970 --> 00:26:23,160 been a great experience getting to know 651 00:26:27,290 --> 00:26:25,980 Dean and we ended up hanging out at the 652 00:26:28,940 --> 00:26:27,300 International UFO Congress with 653 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:28,950 Alejandro who is the one ended up 654 00:26:32,870 --> 00:26:31,650 putting us together and and now here we 655 00:26:35,750 --> 00:26:32,880 are together on the same show together 656 00:26:41,150 --> 00:26:35,760 and some projects together 657 00:26:47,300 --> 00:26:41,160 is that true Dean I can neither confirm 658 00:26:49,790 --> 00:26:47,310 nor deny anything that he ever says no 659 00:26:52,220 --> 00:26:49,800 it's it's pretty accurate and that's a 660 00:26:54,140 --> 00:26:52,230 nice version of what we encountered with 661 00:26:58,250 --> 00:26:54,150 this producer where she was working both 662 00:26:59,630 --> 00:26:58,260 of us and it's a bummer because it was 663 00:27:01,880 --> 00:26:59,640 funny I keep and I hung out the other 664 00:27:04,010 --> 00:27:01,890 day and I turn to Keith and I said you 665 00:27:06,260 --> 00:27:04,020 know it's it's really said that that the 666 00:27:08,660 --> 00:27:06,270 producers didn't realize that if they 667 00:27:13,490 --> 00:27:08,670 team us up they could have done so much 668 00:27:15,500 --> 00:27:13,500 more damage place and really blown this 669 00:27:18,530 --> 00:27:15,510 out huge instead of you know trying to 670 00:27:21,950 --> 00:27:18,540 take one from another but yeah and again 671 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:21,960 Alejandro he's the great what's the word 672 00:27:31,210 --> 00:27:29,250 Yenta again you know Keith when we were 673 00:27:37,220 --> 00:27:31,220 at alien Con which is where Keith and I 674 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:37,230 met he's he has his mind works as an 675 00:27:41,180 --> 00:27:38,730 engineer which I appreciate is I'm 676 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:41,190 always with your filmmaker you are an 677 00:27:46,370 --> 00:27:43,410 engineer or you you're a magician I mean 678 00:27:48,050 --> 00:27:46,380 this is what we do and and and Keith 679 00:27:49,670 --> 00:27:48,060 looks at everything it's kind of like 680 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:49,680 okay I know that this is how it works 681 00:27:55,370 --> 00:27:52,770 well why why don't we do it this way and 682 00:27:57,530 --> 00:27:55,380 and we're doing that the things that but 683 00:27:59,030 --> 00:27:57,540 I feel like I've done in my career that 684 00:28:00,200 --> 00:27:59,040 have done well I've always been faith 685 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:00,210 it's like I know they're doing it this 686 00:28:05,090 --> 00:28:02,730 way but I'm excited about looking at now 687 00:28:07,790 --> 00:28:05,100 from this angle and so back when I did 688 00:28:11,510 --> 00:28:07,800 the original and 89 the original UFO 689 00:28:14,180 --> 00:28:11,520 abduction we didn't have online you know 690 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:14,190 really personal computers at the time to 691 00:28:20,060 --> 00:28:18,090 this extent so we used smoke signals of 692 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:20,070 Morse code to get all of our viral now 693 00:28:29,330 --> 00:28:26,010 that's a joke campaign oh no this is an 694 00:28:30,890 --> 00:28:29,340 example of you know Keith you know 695 00:28:35,180 --> 00:28:30,900 looking at something and doing that and 696 00:28:37,340 --> 00:28:35,190 also we're storytellers you know whether 697 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:37,350 we're working in the space of um you 698 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:39,210 know whether I'm doing TV movies or 699 00:28:43,070 --> 00:28:41,730 music videos commercials whatever we're 700 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:43,080 trying to tell stories and you know 701 00:28:47,830 --> 00:28:45,090 Keith with certainly with the video 702 00:28:50,810 --> 00:28:47,840 games it's all telling stories and it's 703 00:28:53,210 --> 00:28:50,820 you know the more they're based on 704 00:28:55,070 --> 00:28:53,220 actual effect the more authentic they 705 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:55,080 have the more they resonate with a 706 00:28:59,830 --> 00:28:57,450 person and so you know before 707 00:29:02,360 --> 00:28:59,840 found-footage there was the cavemen our 708 00:29:05,330 --> 00:29:02,370 campfire and so this is just an 709 00:29:07,460 --> 00:29:05,340 extension of that and Dean I wanted to 710 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:07,470 talk about you for a moment you did a 711 00:29:12,500 --> 00:29:10,130 lifetime film that came out last month 712 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:12,510 wanted to cover that and also wanted to 713 00:29:17,290 --> 00:29:14,730 mention that you're looking forward to 714 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:17,300 the Fantastic Fest in Austin that does 715 00:29:22,190 --> 00:29:19,530 genre films it's in a month and a half 716

00:29:33,090 Hotel del Rey in the Halloween movie 722 00:29:41,030 --> 00:29:36,990 there and also there could be possibly a 723 00:29:49,700 --> 00:29:41,040 third installment of alien abduction so 724 00:29:52,070 --> 00:29:49,710 that correct I always junk your 725 00:29:52,610 --> 00:29:52,080 abduction has been the gift that keeps 726 00:29:56,300 --> 00:29:52,620 on giving 727 00:29:57,980

was 730 00:30:06,710 --> 00:30:02,580 done a while ago there are a lot of kids 731 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:06,720 who had seen if not the original saw the 732 00:30:10,940 --> 00:30:08,730 remake at the UPN alien abduction 733 00:30:12,649 --> 00:30:10,950 instant Lake County also known as an 734 00:30:15,529 --> 00:30:12,659 affair sand tape 735 00:30:18,889 --> 00:30:15,539 they they grew up

whole 763 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:26,039 way that the Fantastic Fest came back is 764 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:29,250 the guy who is the director of the fest 765 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:32,610 had been a

was just insane and so you know I 813 00:33:46,789 --> 00:33:44,010 feel really lucky to have had an 814 00:33:48,350 --> 00:33:46,799 opportunity to be with you know Stanton 815 00:33:51,260 --> 00:33:48,360 and everything and so and then that kind 816 00:33:52,940 --> 00:33:51,270 of you know has has led to you know 817 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:52,950 looking at this again from a whole new 818 00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:54,450 angle where do we take this to the next 819 00:33:59,960 --> 00:33:57,450 step and you know and and that's kind of 820 00:34:01,720 --> 00:33:59,970 you know the Gophers what I wanted to 821 00:34:04,070 --> 00:34:01,730 bring up something interesting and then 822 00:34:05,870 --> 00:34:04,080 bring up something else after that and 823 00:34:08,030 --> 00:34:05,880 that is you shot Nick Pope's interview 824 00:34:10,970 --> 00:34:08,040 last year and you also did work for 825 00:34:13,220 --> 00:34:10,980 Travis Taylor of ancient aliens can you 826 00:34:15,889 --> 00:34:13,230 talk can you touch a little bit off upon 827 00:34:20,780 --> 00:34:15,899 those topics yeah what I can tell you is 828 00:34:24,169 --> 00:34:20,790 that when I was at alien Con I had 829 00:34:29,060 --> 00:34:24,179 between I guess February or March and 830 00:34:32,930 --> 00:34:29,070 February of 2018 and June of 2018 when I 831 00:34:36,260 --> 00:34:32,940 did a link on when I was at at I UFO see 832 00:34:38,119 --> 00:34:36,270 I hit on this idea which was I wanted I 833 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:38,129 saw a perspective that hadn't been 834 00:34:44,210 --> 00:34:39,690 exploited yeah 835 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:44,220 in the UFO genre or the UFO research 836 00:34:51,500 --> 00:34:49,050 Phil and so I hit on this idea and so 837 00:34:54,260 --> 00:34:51,510 while I was speaking that alien con I am 838 00:34:56,300 --> 00:34:54,270 I just reached out to Nick and started 839 00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:56,310 videotaping him and I had a list of 840 00:34:59,839 --> 00:34:57,690 questions and stuff that were leading us 841 00:35:04,220 --> 00:34:59,849 into that direction and then interview 842 00:35:06,589 --> 00:35:04,230 Travis and Travis was interesting 843 00:35:09,500 --> 00:35:06,599 because he interviewed over something 844 00:35:11,030 --> 00:35:09,510 would be sphere but crying yeah it's 845 00:35:12,890 --> 00:35:11,040 good a while but yeah I've seen it 846 00:35:16,670 --> 00:35:12,900 oh the book is really good the movies in 847 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:16,680 okay so anyway it was about this guy 848 00:35:21,140 --> 00:35:18,210 that wrote this kind of briefing like if 849 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:21,150 we were to you know meet UFOs how would 850 00:35:24,650 --> 00:35:22,890 that go down how would we do disclosure 851 00:35:28,490 --> 00:35:24,660 and everything else if it you know Kim 852 00:35:30,859 --> 00:35:28,500 to that so that level a reveal and he 853 00:35:33,559 --> 00:35:30,869 wrote this thing and then it actually 854 00:35:37,450 --> 00:35:33,569 kind of got out there and kind of 855 00:35:40,579 --> 00:35:37,460 circulated and he became the de facto 856 00:35:43,130 --> 00:35:40,589 head in that field in in the government 857 00:35:45,349 --> 00:35:43,140 and so he was actually doing this where 858 00:35:47,630 --> 00:35:45,359 he was you know created what that first 859 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:47,640 contact would be and then each name is 860 00:35:51,260 --> 00:35:49,050 heard about this and brought him on and 861 00:35:53,210 --> 00:35:51,270 so he's pretty new that genre as well 862 00:35:54,710 --> 00:35:53,220 and so I interviewed him and I and I 863 00:35:57,410 --> 00:35:54,720 figured he had thought about what that 864 00:35:59,930 --> 00:35:57,420 would be like and so um I can't tell you 865 00:36:03,020 --> 00:35:59,940 exactly what that perspective is but um 866 00:36:05,180 --> 00:36:03,030 it's new hasn't been done before and so 867 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:05,190 interviewed you know Nick it was great 868 00:36:10,250 --> 00:36:07,770 really funny guy it's really interesting 869 00:36:12,349 --> 00:36:10,260 well if Keith and I we intersect with 870 00:36:14,270 --> 00:36:12,359 all these people and they all have an 871 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:14,280 awesome sense of humor you know and I 872 00:36:18,190 --> 00:36:16,290 met Alejandro I said okay I'll speak at 873 00:36:21,260 --> 00:36:18,200 the festival but I'm gonna bring levity 874 00:36:23,089 --> 00:36:21,270 because everything has it and if you 875 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:23,099 take things too serious then they're too 876 00:36:27,500 --> 00:36:25,050 brittle and they break so you have to 877 00:36:29,780 --> 00:36:27,510 you know have a range of of that and 878 00:36:33,260 --> 00:36:29,790 everyone is you know great Earl Grey is 879 00:36:35,839 --> 00:36:33,270 hysterical I mean everyone that's it is 880 00:36:38,690 --> 00:36:35,849 funny I mean these guys are all you know 881 00:36:41,829 --> 00:36:38,700 good people and so you know it's just 882 00:36:44,300 --> 00:36:41,839 kind of trying to continue that and 883 00:36:48,500 --> 00:36:44,310 propagate it in a positive way 884 00:36:50,150 --> 00:36:48,510 and you know and hopefully uncover I 885 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:50,160 mean we're all trying to pull back that 886 00:36:55,410 --> 00:36:53,290 you know sheets on this 887 00:36:57,089 --> 00:36:55,420 you're going to be doing another project 888 00:36:58,890 --> 00:36:57,099 on the road that's close to your heart 889 00:36:59,940 --> 00:36:58,900 and it's a cross between all the 890 00:37:03,270 --> 00:36:59,950 President's Men and Close Encounters 891 00:37:04,859 --> 00:37:03,280 which is a mystery and there's an 892 00:37:07,079 --> 00:37:04,869 investigative element to it that has a 893 00:37:08,490 --> 00:37:07,089 deep throat kind of character as you 894 00:37:11,660 --> 00:37:08,500 were saying when we talked prior to the 895 00:37:14,460 --> 00:37:11,670 show it has a contemporary issue that 896 00:37:16,950 --> 00:37:14,470 you have one you wanted to mention 897 00:37:19,079 --> 00:37:16,960 actually or they make the point up and 898 00:37:22,079 --> 00:37:19,089 that is newspapers going dead and 899 00:37:24,750 --> 00:37:22,089 everything is going online and the 900 00:37:27,810 --> 00:37:24,760 camaraderie of working in person at a 901 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:27,820 newspaper in that close-knit reporter 902 00:37:33,630 --> 00:37:29,970 type community in a smaller newspaper is 903 00:37:35,430 --> 00:37:33,640 disappearing it's becoming extinct can 904 00:37:40,980 --> 00:37:35,440 you tell us a little bit about that 905 00:37:45,210 --> 00:37:40,990 project it basic story is about a 906 00:37:47,069 --> 00:37:45,220 reporter and a blogger who they it's on 907 00:37:48,690 --> 00:37:47,079 it's on the crust I mean it's it's been 908 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:48,700 going on for some time so it's nothing 909 00:37:55,260 --> 00:37:52,690 new that that print is you know on the 910 00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:55,270 way out the door and and even though 911 00:37:58,910 --> 00:37:57,010 going green it's great for the trees and 912 00:38:01,470 --> 00:37:58,920 everything there's just something about 913 00:38:03,750 --> 00:38:01,480 you know that paper landing on your 914 00:38:08,220 --> 00:38:03,760 doorstep open it up and snowing that 915 00:38:10,170 --> 00:38:08,230 chalk you know paper that the smell of 916 00:38:12,180 --> 00:38:10,180 it opening it's like kind of you know 917 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:12,190 opening a gift on every page and that 918 00:38:19,290 --> 00:38:16,690 that tactile thing is going away and and 919 00:38:21,750 --> 00:38:19,300 this was kind of coming from my morning 920 00:38:23,490 --> 00:38:21,760 of that and and even a lot of people 921 00:38:25,710 --> 00:38:23,500 papers have been able to keep both some 922 00:38:27,839 --> 00:38:25,720 now are phasing out even even bet and so 923 00:38:29,370 --> 00:38:27,849 it's all online and so here's a young 924 00:38:32,430 --> 00:38:29,380 reporter who's really trying to get his 925 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:32,440 start going before it happens in his 926 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:34,210 paper it's been announced that it's it's 927 00:38:40,710 --> 00:38:38,890 um it is going to be ending and 30 days 928 00:38:44,220 --> 00:38:40,720 who's got 30 days ago his first front 929 00:38:47,809 --> 00:38:44,230 page and excuse me front page 930 00:38:50,130 --> 00:38:47,819 you know article and enter a blogger who 931 00:38:52,020 --> 00:38:50,140 young blogger who comes into it he's 932 00:38:53,309 --> 00:38:52,030 gonna write for the paper and he's going 933 00:38:58,770 --> 00:38:53,319 to be doing his opinions and stuff and 934 00:39:02,760 --> 00:38:58,780 so this story actually starts a briefly 935 00:39:04,859 --> 00:39:02,770 year before then when there is a vehicle 936 00:39:06,970 --> 00:39:04,869 that crash lands on the moon in it's so 937 00:39:10,750 --> 00:39:06,980 big that you can't hide 938 00:39:12,910 --> 00:39:10,760 government can hide it and so it starts 939 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:12,920 from there and then we cut back to it 940 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:14,810 movie begins a year later it's these two 941 00:39:20,349 --> 00:39:17,330 guys meeting up and they discover this 942 00:39:22,599 --> 00:39:20,359 thread this this conspiracy threatened 943 00:39:24,580 --> 00:39:22,609 they start to tug at it and it seems to 944 00:39:27,099 --> 00:39:24,590 break off but it doesn't it keeps 945 00:39:28,510 --> 00:39:27,109 pulling and unraveling and so very much 946 00:39:32,140 --> 00:39:28,520 like all the President's Men 947 00:39:34,720 --> 00:39:32,150 it's these these two young bucks if you 948 00:39:36,550 --> 00:39:34,730 will who discover this thing and it goes 949 00:39:41,310 --> 00:39:36,560 on and on and the themes that are laid 950 00:39:43,570 --> 00:39:41,320 in all throughout is from fake news to 951 00:39:45,730 --> 00:39:43,580 respecting the research that goes in 952 00:39:47,620 --> 00:39:45,740 because you're you know opinion bloggers 953 00:39:49,300 --> 00:39:47,630 Huffington Post all these you know great 954 00:39:52,240 --> 00:39:49,310 publications they're still these are 955 00:39:55,599 --> 00:39:52,250 just opinions second real word opinion a 956 00:39:59,770 --> 00:39:55,609 nurse are on it is now the opinion NATO 957 00:40:02,790 --> 00:39:59,780 and so um so it's it's hitting on that 958 00:40:07,030 --> 00:40:02,800 and it's also at its core which is 959 00:40:08,980 --> 00:40:07,040 factoring into to my work a lot is the 960 00:40:12,460 --> 00:40:08,990 environment and what we're doing and how 961 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:12,470 we don't have an appreciation for this 962 00:40:17,500 --> 00:40:14,930 planet and everything that they're we're 963 00:40:20,230 --> 00:40:17,510 doing right now is you know screwing 964 00:40:21,460 --> 00:40:20,240 that it's kind of like you know we've 965 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:21,470 had a great party and now we're gonna 966 00:40:25,660 --> 00:40:23,570 set the party on fire as we leave so the 967 00:40:27,849 --> 00:40:25,670 other people in line don't get 968 00:40:29,620 --> 00:40:27,859 experienced it that's kind of how it is 969 00:40:30,580 --> 00:40:29,630 I mean it's kind of a crass way to to 970 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:30,590 say it but that's we're doing this 971 00:40:37,450 --> 00:40:34,850 planning so it's about that and a few 972 00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:37,460 other things but but that's high on my 973 00:40:43,450 --> 00:40:41,570 list to do as soon as possible and get 974 00:40:46,630 --> 00:40:43,460 that going we're looking at casting 975 00:40:48,609 --> 00:40:46,640 right now so we'll see well my advice is 976 00:40:52,170 --> 00:40:48,619 to get up some fake documents and put 977 00:40:57,190 --> 00:40:52,180 those out there and now that all the 978 00:41:01,210 --> 00:40:59,260 wanted to mention I'm forgive me if you 979 00:41:04,270 --> 00:41:01,220 mentioned this because my audio broke up 980 00:41:05,530 --> 00:41:04,280 it's my fault Dean but my understands 981 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:05,540 you're working on a sci-fi thriller 982 00:41:11,830 --> 00:41:08,210 related projects where women save 983 00:41:14,620 --> 00:41:11,840 themselves in these jeopardy related or 984 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:14,630 type films is that correct am I saying 985 00:41:20,470 --> 00:41:19,130 that correctly yeah so there's been a 986 00:41:23,590 --> 00:41:20,480 huge market 987 00:41:25,599 --> 00:41:23,600 four years from the femme fatale way 988 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:25,609 back in the 30s and 40s 989 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:28,010 film noir happened after him you dropped 990 00:41:31,420 --> 00:41:29,570 the bomb because we had lost her 991 00:41:34,450 -->

with Jane Fonda has 1011 00:42:27,190 --> 00:42:24,170 kids and stuff she dragged us to all 1012 00:42:30,099 --> 00:42:27,200 these things and so I'm looking women is 1013 00:42:31,570 --> 00:42:30,109 you know by and large strong and a lot 1014 00:42:34,990 --> 00:42:31,580 of ways stronger than men and so the 1015 00:42:36,430 --> 00:42:35,000 idea of these female in jeopardy you 1016 00:42:38,620 --> 00:42:36,440 know having a genre called female in 1017 00:42:40,390 --> 00:42:38,630 jeopardy is just asinine and so I 1018 00:42:42,099 --> 00:42:40,400 thought how can you work in that space 1019 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:42,109 because again it's an opportunity you 1020 00:42:45,670 --> 00:42:44,210 know Keith and I as you mentioned you 1021 00:42:48,250 --> 00:42:45,680 know looking at a space how can we look 1022 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:48,260 at it from a different angle and and and 1023 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:50,450 get into it and put some more realism 1024 00:42:55,540 --> 00:42:54,050 into it and so I started working in the 1025 00:43:00,670 --> 00:42:55,550 genre the first and it was a 1026 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:00,680 supernatural you know female in jeopardy 1027 00:43:06,270 --> 00:43:04,490 but it's actually more about a woman who 1028 00:43:09,550 --> 00:43:06,280 suffers from PTSD 1029 00:43:13,060 --> 00:43:09,560 she has Eisler phobia which is fear of 1030 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:13,070 being alone and so she has to deal with 1031 00:43:18,250 --> 00:43:16,010 her past in order to remedy her current 1032 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:18,260 situation which is stuck in a cabin out 1033 00:43:23,109 --> 00:43:20,810 in the woods after an avalanche by 1034 00:43:26,650 --> 00:43:23,119 herself and she's got to confront her 1035 00:43:29,109 --> 00:43:26,660 demons and so um and and she's also gay 1036 00:43:33,250 --> 00:43:29,119 which is for me putting you know 1037 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:33,260 diversity into any injected into any 1038 00:43:35,860 --> 00:43:34,010 story 1039 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:35,870 you know the more you do it the less you 1040 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:38,450 make it this unique thing the more you 1041 00:43:42,010 --> 00:43:40,850 normalize it so it's not an issue it's 1042 00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:42,020 just this is who we are this is the 1043 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:44,450 fabric of who we are and so I've got a 1044 00:43:49,090 --> 00:43:45,890 few other things like that and the TV 1045 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:49,100 movie the Lifetime movie Tina I did was 1046 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:52,850 also that concept real briefly was about 1047 00:43:58,060 --> 00:43:55,010 a young girl whose father had passed 1048 00:44:00,370 --> 00:43:58,070 away a year before she's about to about 1049 00:44:01,720 --> 00:44:00,380 the college and so it's down to the 1050 00:44:03,370 --> 00:44:01,730 wife's like six months away and she's 1051 00:44:05,050 --> 00:44:03,380 gonna be taken off and and her mom 1052 00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:05,060 hasn't been dating she's all alone and 1053 00:44:08,530 --> 00:44:06,770 she feels protective and she wants her 1054 00:44:11,260 --> 00:44:08,540 to have her man and have a husband and 1055 00:44:14,260 --> 00:44:11,270 and and and be taken care of while she's 1056 00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:14,270 away and so she engineers going online 1057 00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:16,850 and you know tracking down a suitor and 1058 00:44:23,410 --> 00:44:18,410 everything seems great turns out this 1059 00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:23,420 guy is a complete yeah he 1060 00:44:27,370 --> 00:44:25,610 collapsed the mother and you know 1061 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:27,380 terrorizes them and everything and 1062 00:44:33,070 --> 00:44:29,810 ultimately they take this guy out and 1063 00:44:34,510 --> 00:44:33,080 the last scene is her you know the 1064 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:34,520 mother and the daughter realizing that 1065 00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:37,010 it's okay to be alone it's okay to have 1066 00:44:40,870 --> 00:44:39,050 a lone time you don't need to be 1067 00:44:42,220 --> 00:44:40,880 partnered up you can you can have that 1068 00:44:46,390 --> 00:44:42,230 and you can have your own life and 1069 00:44:48,970 --> 00:44:46,400 that's that's enough and so yeah so 1070 00:44:51,220 --> 00:44:48,980 that's kind of the themes that I'm you 1071 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:51,230 know I think you're exploring them in a 1072 00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:54,290 commercial space Dean is it true that 1073 00:45:01,090 --> 00:44:56,330 you might be at the Austin Film Festival 1074 00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:01,100 in November yeah well we'll see 1075 00:45:08,140 --> 00:45:04,090 I did a the end of the year I did this 1076 00:45:11,500 --> 00:45:08,150 supernatural thriller comedy called 1077 00:45:14,350 --> 00:45:11,510 portal and we're locking distribution 1078 00:45:16,660 --> 00:45:14,360 right now and so I'm not sure what they 1079 00:45:19,620 --> 00:45:16,670 coming out you know marketing or plans 1080 00:45:22,660 --> 00:45:19,630 are going to be for announced it but 1081 00:45:25,060 --> 00:45:22,670 that's one possible thing there the 1082 00:45:27,700 --> 00:45:25,070 other is a couple other scripts and 1083 00:45:29,170 --> 00:45:27,710 projects so I only you know as we get 1084 00:45:31,750 --> 00:45:29,180 closer they're the thing that we did 1085 00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:31,760 portal was really fun because again that 1086 00:45:37,930 --> 00:45:35,450 was that concept there is about fake 1087 00:45:42,730 --> 00:45:37,940 news and it's in the guise of here are 1088 00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:42,740 these guys these low-rent you Ghost 1089 00:45:47,490 --> 00:45:46,610 Hunters who are the most honest Ghost 1090 00:45:48,930 --> 00:45:47,500 Hunters out there 1091 00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:48,940 that they don't have a lot of raids 1092 00:45:51,690 --> 00:45:50,290 because they're not seeing ghosts every 1093 00:45:54,150 --> 00:45:51,700 single time to go out like all these 1094 00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:54,160 other ghost shows and then the hits 1095 00:45:58,770 --> 00:45:57,010 the fan as they start augmenting and so 1096 00:46:03,120 --> 00:45:58,780 as they go from real news to fake news 1097 00:46:04,950 --> 00:46:03,130 this happens and and you know wanted to 1098 00:46:06,990 --> 00:46:04,960 mentioned I'm sorry if you already 1099 00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:07,000 mentioned this I apologize just let me 1100 00:46:12,990 --> 00:46:09,970 know if you did James Fox and you are 1101 00:46:18,380 --> 00:46:13,000 working together on a project is that 1102 00:46:23,130 --> 00:46:18,390 correct it's too premature to say that 1103 00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:23,140 James we've intersected on a phone call 1104 00:46:28,770 --> 00:46:26,530 and so are not a few phone calls and 1105 00:46:31,860 --> 00:46:28,780 stuff I'm very very interested in what 1106 00:46:33,630 --> 00:46:31,870 James does and in this field every time 1107 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:33,640 he does something that's usually moving 1108 00:46:37,830 --> 00:46:36,610 the needle up further and so he's got 1109 00:46:41,430 --> 00:46:37,840 this great project that he's been 1110 00:46:43,140 --> 00:46:41,440 working on for a few years now and it 1111 00:46:45,630 --> 00:46:43,150 you know I've seen the footage it's 1112 00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:45,640 amazing but I can't really can't wait if 1113 00:46:51,510 --> 00:46:47,650 I can help him in any way I will he 1114 00:46:54,450 --> 00:46:51,520 doesn't need my help but we're you know 1115 00:46:57,180 --> 00:46:54,460 trying to connect when he's in town here 1116 00:47:00,330 --> 00:46:57,190 or when I'm in the Bay Area there and so 1117 00:47:01,530 --> 00:47:00,340 yeah before we moved back onto keith 1118 00:47:03,330 --> 00:47:01,540 again because i have quite a few 1119 00:47:06,060 --> 00:47:03,340 questions for keith i wanted to ask him 1120 00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:06,070 i wanted to ask you regarding the panel 1121 00:47:10,770 --> 00:47:08,530 you were on with us where we reviewed 1122 00:47:11,490 --> 00:47:10,780 the unidentified a series from The 1123 00:47:13,350 --> 00:47:11,500 History Channel 1124 00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:13,360 were there any last things you wanted to 1125 00:47:22,260 --> 00:47:17,530 say about that that topic I had your 1126 00:47:24,300 --> 00:47:22,270 review of it well we had done a whole 1127 00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:24,310 bunch of notes so we all took per 1128 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:26,530 episode and as you know there were about 1129 00:47:32,490 --> 00:47:30,850 seven right yes I think it would have 1130 00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:32,500 been the longest podcast in the history 1131 00:47:41,370 --> 00:47:37,930 of every episode down I would say you 1132 00:47:44,330 --> 00:47:41,380 know in in summary random thoughts I 1133 00:47:50,730 --> 00:47:44,340 thought it was I thought it was really 1134 00:47:51,930 --> 00:47:50,740 well conceived I thought that some of it 1135 00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:51,940 was kind of stretching out what was 1136 00:47:59,820 --> 00:47:56,770 there and and but the execution of it 1137 00:48:01,079 --> 00:47:59,830 was great I love going back and forth it 1138 00:48:03,449 --> 00:48:01,089 rang me a lot 1139 00:48:04,709 --> 00:48:03,459 of all the president's men work they 1140 00:48:06,269 --> 00:48:04,719 would go out in the field and then it 1141 00:48:07,649 --> 00:48:06,279 would come back to the government you 1142 00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:07,659 know and their research to almost get 1143 00:48:11,099 --> 00:48:09,249 confirmation 1144 00:48:13,289 --> 00:48:11,109 they were very transparent I mean that 1145 00:48:14,819 --> 00:48:13,299 moment where he says you know I have to 1146 00:48:15,870 --> 00:48:14,829 be very careful that I'm not going out 1147 00:48:17,569 --> 00:48:15,880 you know 1148 00:48:21,630 --> 00:48:17,579 Karina's perception that I'm going out 1149 00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:21,640 looking for ancestors you know that I 1150 00:48:27,359 --> 00:48:23,650 already know the answer to questions 1151 00:48:28,949 --> 00:48:27,369 already know the answer to and so you 1152 00:48:33,779 --> 00:48:28,959 know I think the team's interesting and 1153 00:48:37,199 --> 00:48:33,789 everything you know I people I know he's 1154 00:48:38,489 --> 00:48:37,209 controversial Tom DeLonge right um you 1155 00:48:40,919 --> 00:48:38,499 know screw it it's because of him that 1156 00:48:43,169 --> 00:48:40,929 we've got a lot of this information that 1157 00:48:46,349 --> 00:48:43,179 he's been pushing that open and and so 1158 00:48:47,429 --> 00:48:46,359 we should all be rooting for him and you 1159 00:48:50,159 --> 00:48:47,439 know I wish that there was a little more 1160 00:48:52,439 --> 00:48:50,169 of his music I like his music in the end 1161 00:48:56,669 --> 00:48:52,449 in the series but it's not about him and 1162 00:48:58,049 --> 00:48:56,679 I so yeah and and Lou is a very credible 1163 00:49:01,890 --> 00:48:58,059 person and all these people coming out 1164 00:49:03,359 --> 00:49:01,900 and speaking um you know I I thought 1165 00:49:05,370 --> 00:49:03,369 they'd create a safe space for these 1166 00:49:07,229 --> 00:49:05,380 guys to do that which is is half of it 1167 00:49:08,459 --> 00:49:07,239 you know it's you know because the 1168 00:49:10,890 --> 00:49:08,469 people that come forward and want to 1169 00:49:12,179 --> 00:49:10,900 speak usually the ones who are screaming 1170 00:49:13,709 --> 00:49:12,189 hey look at me look at me those the ones 1171 00:49:15,569 --> 00:49:13,719 you don't really want to be intersected 1172 00:49:17,969 --> 00:49:15,579 way it's the ones that you have to go to 1173 00:49:20,039 --> 00:49:17,979 and you have to say hey I know that this 1174 00:49:21,599 --> 00:49:20,049 is sensitive and everything but can we 1175 00:49:24,449 --> 00:49:21,609 find a way that we can talk about this 1176 00:49:26,870 --> 00:49:24,459 and and you know in an Integris way and 1177 00:49:30,739 --> 00:49:26,880 and so I thought overall it was a 1178 00:49:36,899 --> 00:49:30,749 success I love it when Lou when I'm 1179 00:49:39,959 --> 00:49:36,909 Louis would lose his this is real 1180 00:49:41,459 --> 00:49:39,969 when are they gonna understand like 1181 00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:41,469 maybe he was yelling at the craft 1182 00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:47,650 service guy peanut butter with chunky so 1183 00:49:53,429 --> 00:49:51,729 it could be about UFOs you know UFO 1184 00:49:56,399 --> 00:49:53,439 folks could be a really tough crowd when 1185 00:49:57,689 --> 00:49:56,409 it comes to criticizing TV shows and I 1186 00:49:59,489 --> 00:49:57,699 think it went over really well 1187 00:50:01,079 --> 00:49:59,499 yeah and they should be they should 1188 00:50:03,989 --> 00:50:01,089 because God knows there's enough stuff 1189 00:50:05,069 --> 00:50:03,999 out there and and and you know Keith and 1190 00:50:08,189 --> 00:50:05,079 I are doing it a whole other

00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:44,560 visualize what an average day is for you 1206 00:50:50,940 --> 00:50:45,850 what it's like I'm sure it's not the 1207 00:50:52,830 --> 00:50:50,950 same everyday benefit and challenge to 1208 00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:52,840 my work is that every day is something 1209 00:50:58,470 --> 00:50:55,690 completely different I'm kind of a 1210 00:51:00,120 --> 00:50:58,480 generalist in a sense that I have a an 1211 00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:00,130 engineering background and a technology 1212 00:51:04,710 --> 00:51:02,290 background but I'm a creative at heart I 1213 00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:04,720 started in the music industry so I was a 1214 00:51:09,570 --> 00:51:07,450 composer and I was with biohazard and 1215 00:51:11,580 --> 00:51:09,580 contagion back when I was a kid so I was 1216 00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:11,590 starting off you know writing and 1217 00:51:17,910 --> 00:51:13,690 producing and touring playing music and 1218 00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:17,920 got into films and video games from a 1219 00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:20,050 production standpoint and even though as 1220 00:51:25,950 --> 00:51:24,490 a storyteller I always loved that just 1221 00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:25,960 fascination of going into a movie 1222 00:51:29,100 --> 00:51:27,490 theater and just losing myself and I 1223 00:51:30,900 --> 00:51:29,110 never really wanted to lose that magic 1224 00:51:32,460 --> 00:51:30,910 so I stayed away from films 1225 00:51:35,670 --> 00:51:32,470 intentionally just because I didn't want 1226 00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:35,680 to really know how they were made but as 1227 00:51:40,790 --> 00:51:38,410 I got into production and through music 1228 00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:40,800 and then sound that turned into me 1229 00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:43,810 directing and I started working with 1230 00:51:48,900 --> 00:51:47,170 actors when I was a kid just sort of 1231 00:51:50,460 --> 00:51:48,910 because I was the audio guy and suddenly 1232 00:51:51,900 --> 00:51:50,470 they throw me in with the celebrities 1233 00:51:54,180 --> 00:51:51,910 because I was the only one who knew how 1234 00:51:58,320 --> 00:51:54,190 to use the equipment and I had to record 1235 00:52:01,110 --> 00:51:58,330 the actors and as I started to really 1236 00:52:03,270 --> 00:52:01,120 enjoy that process a lot of the actors 1237 00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:03,280 and celebrities would come to me and say 1238 00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:05,410 when are you doing your stuff I mean we 1239 00:52:07,890 --> 00:52:06,370 love the video games that we're doing 1240 00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:07,900 but what are you going to be doing your 1241 00:52:12,690 --> 00:52:10,690 stuff and I remember I had done a 1242 00:52:15,300 --> 00:52:12,700 session years ago with Gary Oldman and 1243 00:52:17,190 --> 00:52:15,310 he was just this amazing performer to 1244 00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:17,200 direct because you're you're just 1245 00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:18,850 sitting back and watching him do his 1246 00:52:22,350 --> 00:52:20,770 craft and your guiding sort of the 1247 00:52:23,950 --> 00:52:22,360 overall direction of the project but 1248 00:52:25,720 --> 00:52:23,960 it's you're not 1249 00:52:27,790 --> 00:52:25,730 you know you're just watching more than 1250 00:52:30,430 --> 00:52:27,800 and learning from him and anything as a 1251 00:52:31,750 --> 00:52:30,440 director so but he turned to me and he 1252 00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:31,760 said when are you doing your projects 1253 00:52:35,740 --> 00:52:32,930 what are you what are you gonna be doing 1254 00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:35,750 your your work and so I had started to 1255 00:52:40,240 --> 00:52:38,330 write graphic novels and comic books 1256 00:52:42,670 --> 00:52:40,250 because I hadn't any experience writing 1257 00:52:44,140 --> 00:52:42,680 screenplays I've been working on scripts 1258 00:52:45,250 --> 00:52:44,150 for games and other things but never 1259 00:52:47,590 --> 00:52:45,260 really knowing how to do a motion 1260 00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:47,600 picture or television show so graphic 1261 00:52:52,270 --> 00:52:48,890 novels were sort of the the first 1262 00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:52,280 inroads for what I was doing and my 1263 00:52:56,980 --> 00:52:54,650 first one that I was working on was this 1264 00:52:59,650 --> 00:52:56,990 this dream that I had had about these 1265 00:53:01,930 --> 00:52:59,660 angels and demons that were fighting in 1266 00:53:04,450 --> 00:53:01,940 this purgatory this this war called the 1267 00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:04,460 purgatory wars and it was his 1268 00:53:08,470 --> 00:53:06,610 post-apocalyptic heaven where these 1269 00:53:10,810 --> 00:53:08,480 legions were fighting these endless 1270 00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:10,820 battles with no end in sight and not 1271 00:53:15,460 --> 00:53:12,530 even knowing what caused this more and 1272 00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:15,470 because heaven had been destroyed souls 1273 00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:17,810 couldn't sort of recreate through this 1274 00:53:22,540 --> 00:53:20,330 to the cycle of life so these angels 1275 00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:22,550 started sending their strongest warriors 1276 00:53:28,090 --> 00:53:24,650 down to earth and harvesting these souls 1277 00:53:29,850 --> 00:53:28,100 into the purgatory wars and Sony was 1278 00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:29,860 this big dream that I had I ended up 1279 00:53:36,460 --> 00:53:33,410 sort of writing this story as a comic 1280 00:53:38,770 --> 00:53:36,470 book or as a graphic novel and a friend 1281 00:53:40,390 --> 00:53:38,780 of mine who was a large film writer saw 1282 00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:40,400 this and he said wow you know this is a 1283 00:53:43,900 --> 00:53:41,690 graphic novel you have to get this 1284 00:53:44,980 --> 00:53:43,910 published and we sent a few pages over 1285 00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:44,990 to Image Comics 1286 00:53:49,810 --> 00:53:48,170 and it ended up becoming the number one 1287 00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:49,820 selling book for image and it turned out 1288 00:53:54,010 --> 00:53:52,610 to be the top I think 17 top-selling 1289 00:53:56,050 --> 00:53:54,020 graphic novel in the country for that 1290 00:53:58,960 --> 00:53:56,060 year there was this book called ascend 1291 00:54:02,470 --> 00:53:58,970 and and so that was really my first 1292 00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:02,480 inroads into creating as well as working 1293 00:54:08,470 --> 00:54:04,610 in the studio's and music and everything 1294 00:54:11,350 --> 00:54:08,480 else and so over the years I've sort of 1295 00:54:14,050 --> 00:54:11,360 developed my career into two sides one 1296 00:54:17,020 --> 00:54:14,060 has been working in videogames and in 1297 00:54:18,460 --> 00:54:17,030 music and in television and film as more 1298 00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:18,470 on the service side like they're coming 1299 00:54:23,110 --> 00:54:21,170 into direct coming in to produce coming 1300 00:54:25,420 --> 00:54:23,120 in to sort of oversee post-production 1301 00:54:27,460 --> 00:54:25,430 and so I build PCB productions here in 1302 00:54:31,030 --> 00:54:27,470 Los Angeles and we have five stages now 1303 00:54:35,410 --> 00:54:31,040 and we work on about 30 or 40 projects a 1304 00:54:37,630 --> 00:54:35,420 year mainly video games so I've done 11 1305 00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:37,640 of the call duty games I've done 1306 00:54:42,100 --> 00:54:40,010 majority of the Ghost Recon and Rainbow 1307 00:54:46,690 --> 00:54:42,110 six series did a lot of the Tony Hawk 1308 00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:46,700 games so over the past 20 years is our 1309 00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:49,690 20th year now being in business as PCB 1310 00:54:57,310 --> 00:54:53,450 it really gave me a great opportunity to 1311 00:54:59,820 --> 00:54:57,320 work with development teams and other 1312 00:55:02,500 --> 00:54:59,830 creators and collaborate with these 1313 00:55:04,900 --> 00:55:02,510 amazing technical teams to really 1314 00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:04,910 develop these big franchises and that 1315 00:55:10,060 --> 00:55:07,850 gave me the inspiration and the guidance 1316 00:55:12,460 --> 00:55:10,070 along with these great actors like Gary 1317 00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:12,470 and other actors to start to take my own 1318 00:55:16,210 --> 00:55:13,850 projects like these comic books and 1319 00:55:18,670 --> 00:55:16,220 develop my own work so the second half 1320 00:55:22,420 --> 00:55:18,680 of my company is now PCB entertainment 1321 00:55:25,570 --> 00:55:22,430 and that is creating these motion 1322 00:55:28,030 --> 00:55:25,580 pictures television shows original video 1323 00:55:31,180 --> 00:55:28,040 games graphic novels and doing projects 1324 00:55:33,010 --> 00:55:31,190 based on my own stories and so that's 1325 00:55:36,130 --> 00:55:33,020 been the most fulfilling and rewarding 1326 00:55:38,380 --> 00:55:36,140 sort of experience is to continue to be 1327 00:55:41,020 --> 00:55:38,390 relevant in the production space and 1328 00:55:43,090 --> 00:55:41,030 working on these big franchises and this 1329 00:55:45,070 --> 00:55:43,100 year we had monster hunter and judgment 1330 00:55:46,990 --> 00:55:45,080 and Kathryn and persona all these big 1331 00:55:49,180 --> 00:55:47,000 games that are coming up to get to work 1332 00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:49,190 on but on the side I get to work on 1333 00:55:52,540 --> 00:55:50,930 projects now I've got a project one with 1334 00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:52,550 Wesley Snipes I've got a prequel for 1335 00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:54,290 Phoenix I've got this new infect 1336 00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:55,850 animated series that's coming out I've 1337 00:55:59,140 --> 00:55:57,050 got two other films that are in 1338 00:56:00,940 --> 00:55:59,150 development so my day kind of goes back 1339 00:56:02,650 --> 00:56:00,950 and forth between maintaining our 1340 00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:02,660 studios for all of our clients and our 1341 00:56:06,790 --> 00:56:04,490 big projects there and then being 1342 00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:06,800 creative on my own and finding time to 1343 00:56:11,620 --> 00:56:09,050 do my own work so it's a great time now 1344 00:56:13,060 --> 00:56:11,630 a key that you're the first person we've 1345 00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:13,070 ever had on the show who's got a big 1346 00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:15,290 background in the gaming and there's 1347 00:56:21,310 --> 00:56:18,050 been a lot of talk over the years recent 1348 00:56:23,950 --> 00:56:21,320 years among theoretical physicists about 1349 00:56:25,780 --> 00:56:23,960 the simulation theory and I'd like to 1350 00:56:28,630 --> 00:56:25,790 know if a you're familiar with that and 1351 00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:28,640 if you have any thoughts about it 1352 00:56:34,180 --> 00:56:32,330 you know it's amazing I a huge fan of 1353 00:56:36,460 --> 00:56:34,190 films like The Matrix and Total Recall 1354 00:56:39,250 --> 00:56:36,470 and even films like Inception that sort 1355 00:56:41,410 --> 00:56:39,260 of tie into a lot of the theories that 1356 00:56:42,970 --> 00:56:41,420 are there and a lot of even some of the 1357 00:56:44,290 --> 00:56:42,980 video games you know Blade chronicles 1358 00:56:45,970 --> 00:56:44,300 that I worked on a number other ones 1359 00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:45,980 kind of deal with the idea that the 1360 00:56:50,910 --> 00:56:49,130 power world is a simulation I'm always 1361 00:56:55,579 --> 00:56:50,920 fascinated by the ideas 1362 00:56:58,230 --> 00:56:55,589 alternate reality and and it's always 1363 00:57:00,089 --> 00:56:58,240 great like late night discussion to kind 1364 00:57:01,890 --> 00:57:00,099 of get into is its are we living in a 1365 00:57:03,690 --> 00:57:01,900 simulation and what are the different 1366 00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:03,700 alternate realities that sort of exists 1367 00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:06,930 based on our universe and where we're at 1368 00:57:13,170 --> 00:57:10,890 I'm not as well-versed in some of the 1369 00:57:15,150 --> 00:57:13,180 theoretical science and some of the 1370 00:57:16,620 --> 00:57:15,160 proof that we have outside of the 1371 00:57:20,009 --> 00:57:16,630 entertainment topics that we've talked 1372 00:57:22,890 --> 00:57:20,019 about but it's it for someone like 1373 00:57:25,470 --> 00:57:22,900 myself that always has that what-if sort 1374 00:57:27,630 --> 00:57:25,480 of scenario and what if we are in the 1375 00:57:29,730 --> 00:57:27,640 simulation and what if our reality is 1376 00:57:32,309 --> 00:57:29,740 not what we think it is or or a path 1377 00:57:34,529 --> 00:57:32,319 that's a different alternate version of 1378 00:57:36,210 --> 00:57:34,539 where we could have gone is something 1379 00:57:37,859 --> 00:57:36,220 that I do spend a lot of time thinking 1380 00:57:39,779 --> 00:57:37,869 about creatively and I'm always 1381 00:57:41,849 --> 00:57:39,789 fascinating hearing that the real 1382 00:57:44,130 --> 00:57:41,859 researchers kind of debate it and talk 1383 00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:44,140 about it it is pretty interesting I've 1384 00:57:47,250 --> 00:57:45,970 heard a couple of debates of big 1385 00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:47,260 roundtables with the theoretical 1386 00:57:51,089 --> 00:57:49,210 physicist usually at the end the 1387 00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:51,099 conclusion is well what do you think 1388 00:57:55,799 --> 00:57:53,170 what do you think the chances are that 1389 00:57:57,779 --> 00:57:55,809 that this is the world that we're really 1390 00:58:00,029 --> 00:57:57,789 living in just a big simulation and they 1391 00:58:02,819 --> 00:58:00,039 say nah but you know they talk about it 1392 00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:02,829 anyway that's usually the conclusion but 1393 00:58:07,559 --> 00:58:04,450 another thing that has come up in 1394 00:58:09,779 --> 00:58:07,569 relation to contactees and that is a 1395 00:58:12,630 --> 00:58:09,789 number of them have said that the 1396 00:58:15,029 --> 00:58:12,640 experience they had seemed like a just 1397 00:58:17,069 --> 00:58:15,039 literally a different reality a 1398 00:58:19,769 --> 00:58:17,079 different level of reality maybe even a 1399 00:58:21,630 --> 00:58:19,779 virtual reality and since that is tied 1400 00:58:24,089 --> 00:58:21,640 into gaming a little bit I wanted to get 1401 00:58:25,890 --> 00:58:24,099 your feedback on that as well it was 1402 00:58:27,870 --> 00:58:25,900 interesting I mean the the abduction 1403 00:58:29,999 --> 00:58:27,880 phenomenon has been something that has 1404 00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:30,009 been as fascinated me for years I have a 1405 00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:31,690 film that I'm actually writing that that 1406 00:58:36,990 --> 00:58:35,170 kind of deals with the topic but what 1407 00:58:38,549 --> 00:58:37,000 was interesting for me and this is kind 1408 00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:38,559 of a hot topic within the community and 1409 00:58:42,620 --> 00:58:40,450 and and for anyone who has a different 1410 00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:42,630 opinion I'm not meaning to be 1411 00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:46,210 controversial or upsetting to them but 1412 00:58:51,210 --> 00:58:48,690 when I did a lot of research especially 1413 00:58:54,269 --> 00:58:51,220 for this film 1414 00:58:57,410 --> 00:58:54,279 the majority almost all of the abduction 1415 00:59:02,279 --> 00:58:57,420 cases that I researched had come out 1416 00:59:05,430 --> 00:59:02,289 through hypnotherapy and and had come 1417 00:59:07,589 --> 00:59:05,440 out through this process 1418 00:59:09,420 --> 00:59:07,599 this regression hypnotherapy and then 1419 00:59:12,620 --> 00:59:09,430 really going back and discovering what 1420 00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:12,630 had happened to them and I was 1421 00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:16,090 fascinated by this sort of research that 1422 00:59:23,700 --> 00:59:18,730 was being done on night terrors and the 1423 00:59:26,599 --> 00:59:23,710 idea that Sleep Disorders had a really 1424 00:59:29,609 --> 00:59:26,609 big impact on on a lot of these 1425 00:59:32,910 --> 00:59:29,619 abductees as a potential explanation for 1426 00:59:35,460 --> 00:59:32,920 why they may have happened and there's a 1427 00:59:37,530 --> 00:59:35,470 sleep disorder it's it's known as as a 1428 00:59:39,839 --> 00:59:37,540 night terror and it's where when you go 1429 00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:39,849 to sleep your body goes into a form of 1430 00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:44,410 paralysis where you don't act out your 1431 00:59:47,670 --> 00:59:45,730 dreams because if you have a dream that 1432 00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:47,680 you're running and you're jumping off a 1433 00:59:50,820 --> 00:59:49,330 cliff and you got out of bed and you 1434 00:59:52,109 --> 00:59:50,830 were to actually run through your glass 1435 00:59:54,780 --> 00:59:52,119 plate window or something else like that 1436 00:59:56,460 --> 00:59:54,790 you would obviously cause severe injury 1437 00:59:59,730 --> 00:59:56,470 to yourself so your body has this 1438 01:00:01,980 --> 00:59:59,740 natural mechanism to sort of paralyze 1439 01:00:03,540 --> 01:00:01,990 itself during sleep you can still turn 1440 01:00:05,910 --> 01:00:03,550 over but you don't really really get up 1441 01:00:07,620 --> 01:00:05,920 in night terrors it's a sleep disorder 1442 01:00:09,839 --> 01:00:07,630 and it actually happens to the majority 1443 01:00:11,730 --> 01:00:09,849 of people at some point during their 1444 01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:11,740 life some people are more prone to it 1445 01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:14,290 than others but almost everyone has had 1446 01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:16,290 it at one point in their life or another 1447 01:00:21,630 --> 01:00:18,970 and typically what happens is is that 1448 01:00:25,470 --> 01:00:21,640 the person wakes up during an activity 1449 01:00:27,540 --> 01:00:25,480 of high REM activity and during REM 1450 01:00:29,430 --> 01:00:27,550 activity your brain and your and your 1451 01:00:31,109 --> 01:00:29,440 sleep cycle you're at the at a very 1452 01:00:34,020 --> 01:00:31,119 heightened state of awareness within 1453 01:00:37,380 --> 01:00:34,030 your dreams and but when you wake up 1454 01:00:39,810 --> 01:00:37,390 with a night terror the body doesn't 1455 01:00:43,050 --> 01:00:39,820 release the paralysis that it's still 1456 01:00:44,849 --> 01:00:43,060 under so you sort of wake up mentally in 1457 01:00:47,250 --> 01:00:44,859 sort of a disoriented and heightened 1458 01:00:49,050 --> 01:00:47,260 state but your body feels like it's 1459 01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:49,060 being held down because of the paralysis 1460 01:00:51,630 --> 01:00:50,770 and if you've ever had anesthesia or 1461 01:00:53,490 --> 01:00:51,640 something you kind of almost feel like 1462 01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:53,500 pressure or there's someone holding you 1463 01:00:59,400 --> 01:00:57,010 down and when that happens you're very 1464 01:01:01,470 --> 01:00:59,410 sensitive to light there is a sense that 1465 01:01:06,270 --> 01:01:01,480 there's a someone or a presence in the 1466 01:01:08,250 --> 01:01:06,280 room and it is terrifying and and it's 1467 01:01:10,170 --> 01:01:08,260 so prevalent that it's been documented 1468 01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:10,180 in almost every culture around the world 1469 01:01:15,329 --> 01:01:12,250 for hundreds if not thousands of years 1470 01:01:18,299 --> 01:01:15,339 and in South America there's a cat that 1471 01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:18,309 sits on your chest and steals your soul 1472 01:01:22,439 --> 01:01:20,410 in Europe there's a troll that sits in 1473 01:01:25,410 --> 01:01:22,449 the corner and and does this and in 1474 01:01:27,299 --> 01:01:25,420 Japan it's an old hag that is it was 1475 01:01:30,059 --> 01:01:27,309 causing this spell that to be you know 1476 01:01:32,279 --> 01:01:30,069 placed on you but it's a very irrational 1477 01:01:34,259 --> 01:01:32,289 kind of feeling because you're in this 1478 01:01:35,699 --> 01:01:34,269 REM cycle and a lot of people just end 1479 01:01:37,469 --> 01:01:35,709 up thinking it's a nightmare and they 1480 01:01:40,140 --> 01:01:37,479 fall back asleep and they don't recall 1481 01:01:42,359 --> 01:01:40,150 it but for people who are awake and can 1482 01:01:43,589 --> 01:01:42,369 retain that all they know is that there 1483 01:01:46,559 --> 01:01:43,599 was someone in the room someone holding 1484 01:01:49,249 --> 01:01:46,569 them down and it terrified and a number 1485 01:01:52,769 --> 01:01:49,259 of these people have gone into hypno 1486 01:01:53,999 --> 01:01:52,779 regression therapy to kind of find out 1487 01:01:56,699 --> 01:01:54,009 what happened to them because they can't 1488 01:01:58,349 --> 01:01:56,709 remember what's there and what's amazing 1489 01:02:00,630 --> 01:01:58,359 about hypno regression therapy is that 1490 01:02:02,039 --> 01:02:00,640 and I'm not sure the actual scientific 1491 01:02:03,719 --> 01:02:02,049 term for it 1492 01:02:06,029 --> 01:02:03,729 or I can't remember it offhand but 1493 01:02:09,870 --> 01:02:06,039 what's interesting is is that when you 1494 01:02:13,549 --> 01:02:09,880 go and regress back in hypnotherapy you 1495 01:02:15,449 --> 01:02:13,559 are very susceptible to suggestion and 1496 01:02:17,370 --> 01:02:15,459 I've had friends who have gone through 1497 01:02:20,549 --> 01:02:17,380 it who have cured themselves of fear of 1498 01:02:24,509 --> 01:02:20,559 flying or or to stop smoking and other 1499 01:02:27,599 --> 01:02:24,519 things but if there is sort of any type 1500 01:02:28,499 --> 01:02:27,609 of suggestion or even self suggestion 1501 01:02:31,819 --> 01:02:28,509 that there was something else that 1502 01:02:35,059 --> 01:02:31,829 happened that memory then becomes 1503 01:02:36,900 --> 01:02:35,069 absolutely cemented into your memory and 1504 01:02:38,849 --> 01:02:36,910 and then it becomes real no matter 1505 01:02:40,229 --> 01:02:38,859 whether it was suggested to you or not 1506 01:02:41,729 --> 01:02:40,239 whether it was a thought that came 1507 01:02:43,620 --> 01:02:41,739 afterwards it becomes part of your 1508 01:02:45,390 --> 01:02:43,630 memory and from all the cases that I 1509 01:02:47,099 --> 01:02:45,400 studied that was the case that they had 1510 01:02:49,229 --> 01:02:47,109 all gone through some form of have no 1511 01:02:51,029 --> 01:02:49,239 regression therapy and in the United 1512 01:02:53,249 --> 01:02:51,039 States though we don't have old hags or 1513 01:02:56,249 --> 01:02:53,259 cats or trolls or other things that are 1514 01:02:58,549 --> 01:02:56,259 part of our culture but UFOs and aliens 1515 01:03:00,989 --> 01:02:58,559 have been and so I think that from the 1516 01:03:03,239 --> 01:03:00,999 the research I was doing it and again no 1517 01:03:04,709 --> 01:03:03,249 disrespect to the cases that are outside 1518 01:03:07,169 --> 01:03:04,719 of this but from the majority of ones I 1519 01:03:09,870 --> 01:03:07,179 saw that were this they were sort of 1520 01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:09,880 finding that a lot of this may have come 1521 01:03:14,279 --> 01:03:11,650 through a suggestion even a self 1522 01:03:18,269 --> 01:03:14,289 suggestion during this hypno regression 1523 01:03:19,859 --> 01:03:18,279 hypnotherapy and and so anyway so I was 1524 01:03:20,999 --> 01:03:19,869 always fascinated by that because some 1525 01:03:22,679 --> 01:03:21,009 of the stories I've met people like 1526 01:03:25,459 --> 01:03:22,689 Travis and other people who have been 1527 01:03:27,509 --> 01:03:25,469 through some obviously life-altering 1528 01:03:30,599 --> 01:03:27,519 experiences and so I was trying to 1529 01:03:31,950 --> 01:03:30,609 rectify sort of that feeling of what 1530 01:03:33,690 --> 01:03:31,960 they've gone through versus 1531 01:03:35,730 --> 01:03:33,700 the research that has been done and 1532 01:03:37,380 --> 01:03:35,740 trying to find a film or a television so 1533 01:03:39,630 --> 01:03:37,390 they can explore that that's an 1534 01:03:42,390 --> 01:03:39,640 interesting topic and Dean um I was 1535 01:03:44,070 --> 01:03:42,400 gonna ask you a little bit about that 1536 01:03:48,890 --> 01:03:44,080 topic could you touch on the sleep 1537 01:03:52,290 --> 01:03:48,900 paralysis subject yeah first of all I 1538 01:04:01,970 --> 01:03:52,300 think it's now older grumpy person I 1539 01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:01,980 think it's it's interesting because 1540 01:04:09,750 --> 01:04:05,770 there's this footage of this dog that's 1541 01:04:11,730 --> 01:04:09,760 online that's gone viral down and it you 1542 01:04:13,740 --> 01:04:11,740 see the dog lying there and it's like a 1543 01:04:16,349 --> 01:04:13,750 greyhound you know which are great 1544 01:04:18,690 --> 01:04:16,359 runners and it's its legs are moving as 1545 01:04:20,700 --> 01:04:18,700 it's sleeping and they're like picking 1546 01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:20,710 up speed as it's going and then all of a 1547 01:04:26,130 --> 01:04:23,290 sudden it pops up and runs straight into 1548 01:04:27,839 --> 01:04:26,140 the wall and once it's back and is like 1549 01:04:31,050 --> 01:04:27,849 completely you know chicken so that 1550 01:04:33,390 --> 01:04:31,060 paralysis is absolutely you know 1551 01:04:38,550 --> 01:04:33,400 much-needed the thing that I'm I'm kind 1552 01:04:42,990 --> 01:04:38,560 of my daughter um when she was younger 1553 01:04:45,690 --> 01:04:43,000 she had childhood epilepsy and so what 1554 01:04:47,490 --> 01:04:45,700 that would mean is that it was nocturnal 1555 01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:47,500 so at night she would have these 1556 01:04:58,859 --> 01:04:54,690 seizures and then she would go into a 1557 01:05:01,020 --> 01:04:58,869 state where you know we would go to the 1558 01:05:04,710 --> 01:05:01,030 hospital she was given ativan as a 1559 01:05:08,820 --> 01:05:04,720 muscle relaxant to to end prevent that 1560 01:05:12,089 --> 01:05:08,830 the seizing from continuing and she 1561 01:05:14,940 --> 01:05:12,099 started drawing these pictures that 1562 01:05:18,780 --> 01:05:14,950 looked like kind of overhead schematics 1563 01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:18,790 and and had like these these patterns 1564 01:05:21,990 --> 01:05:20,530 some of it spiral some of it was 1565 01:05:25,020 --> 01:05:22,000 straight across like a grid it was like 1566 01:05:29,010 --> 01:05:25,030 these boxes one after another all lined 1567 01:05:31,380 --> 01:05:29,020 up and almost like a checkerboard that 1568 01:05:33,089 --> 01:05:31,390 was that was kind of misshapen and she 1569 01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:33,099 said this is what she sees when she 1570 01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:36,130 leaves her body and so she would see us 1571 01:05:40,020 --> 01:05:38,770 her getting lower loaded into the 1572 01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:40,030 ambulance and heading out so she was 1573 01:05:44,670 --> 01:05:42,010 having a lot of body experiences and 1574 01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:44,680 this went on for a couple of years when 1575 01:05:48,180 --> 01:05:45,610 she was having these 1576 01:05:49,860 --> 01:05:48,190 before we got the proper medication and 1577 01:05:52,740 --> 01:05:49,870 started doing other things and I could 1578 01:05:56,310 --> 01:05:52,750 work in order to dye that back and make 1579 01:05:59,550 --> 01:05:56,320 it containable but um I I believe we 1580 01:06:02,460 --> 01:05:59,560 leave our body every night I subscribe 1581 01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:02,470 to that whole hard light I think I'm you 1582 01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:06,930 know I mean not to go too far up 1583 01:06:10,500 --> 01:06:09,970 esoteric limb but you know that's what 1584 01:06:14,190 --> 01:06:10,510 we're here for 1585 01:06:17,550 --> 01:06:14,200 yeah let's let's feed that animal vent 1586 01:06:20,010 --> 01:06:17,560 so it's I think what's what's going on 1587 01:06:24,150 --> 01:06:20,020 is you know with regards to simulation 1588 01:06:26,010 --> 01:06:24,160 this is one big school you know it's 1589 01:06:28,620 --> 01:06:26,020 it's there's nothing more depressing me 1590 01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:28,630 think that that here's a child who grows 1591 01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:31,210 up happens to grow up into you know a 1592 01:06:35,790 --> 01:06:33,730 home with two crackhead parents and now 1593 01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:35,800 they've got mental and physical issues 1594 01:06:39,930 --> 01:06:38,410 because of that genetically and they're 1595 01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:39,940 predisposed to it and then they you know 1596 01:06:44,010 --> 01:06:41,290 become homelessness so that's the only 1597 01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:44,020 shot that they get it like that's that 1598 01:06:48,750 --> 01:06:46,930 doesn't seem fair I believe that you 1599 01:06:50,850 --> 01:06:48,760 know we've been here many a time there's 1600 01:06:55,740 --> 01:06:50,860 a thing called Zeno glossy which is a 1601 01:06:57,360 --> 01:06:55,750 condition where say a child at like four 1602 01:06:59,220 --> 01:06:57,370 years old or three years only starts 1603 01:07:01,170 --> 01:06:59,230 talking they start talking in language 1604 01:07:03,650 --> 01:07:01,180 that they wouldn't know how would 1605 01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:03,660 someone who you know grew up in Nebraska 1606 01:07:09,390 --> 01:07:06,370 born there how can they speak you know 1607 01:07:11,490 --> 01:07:09,400 Mandarin and so that is on record you 1608 01:07:13,610 --> 01:07:11,500 know as being it legit phenomenon or 1609 01:07:16,110 --> 01:07:13,620 being able to sit the piano and play 1610 01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:16,120 perfect I think those four you know 1611 01:07:21,330 --> 01:07:18,970 residuals from past life and so I like 1612 01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:21,340 to believe that we're all evolving and 1613 01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:22,810 we're all getting there to the finish 1614 01:07:27,930 --> 01:07:24,850 line I mean unfortunately technology is 1615 01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:27,940 such right now that you know Moore's law 1616 01:07:33,330 --> 01:07:30,250 which tracks development of mankind and 1617 01:07:34,860 --> 01:07:33,340 technology is now so bifurcated that 1618 01:07:36,660 --> 01:07:34,870 it's no longer running concurrent 1619 01:07:38,850 --> 01:07:36,670 technologies shut straight up so it's 1620 01:07:40,770 --> 01:07:38,860 like a cat a young little kitten that's 1621 01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:40,780 running down a hallway its hind legs are 1622 01:07:46,650 --> 01:07:44,170 running past it and tripping over and 1623 01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:46,660 that's kind of where we're at but with 1624 01:07:53,130 --> 01:07:51,610 regards to how we all you know at night 1625 01:07:54,870 --> 01:07:53,140 we go I think we need to shut down I 1626 01:07:58,140 --> 01:07:54,880 think we need to you know maybe we go 1627 01:07:58,819 --> 01:07:58,150 into our higher self and reconnect you 1628 01:08:00,620 --> 01:07:58,829 know there's some 1629 01:08:02,599 --> 01:08:00,630 have tons of energy they're amazing like 1630 01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:02,609 seeing Paul McCartney at Dodger Stadium 1631 01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:05,130 last night you know again he's you know 1632 01:08:09,169 --> 01:08:07,410 77 years old running around three hours 1633 01:08:12,859 --> 01:08:09,179 three sips of water that's all he needs 1634 01:08:15,859 --> 01:08:12,869 it's like holy crap this is insane yeah 1635 01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:15,869 and so I look at that and and you know 1636 01:08:21,079 --> 01:08:19,650 there's there's stories of yeah people 1637 01:08:22,309 --> 01:08:21,089 have a feel sluggish and stuff and 1638 01:08:25,370 --> 01:08:22,319 they're being told last life you've had 1639 01:08:27,769 --> 01:08:25,380 too much of your soul in you and so now 1640 01:08:30,349 --> 01:08:27,779 you're only having so much but just to 1641 01:08:32,599 --> 01:08:30,359 bring it back I think you know that 1642 01:08:34,490 --> 01:08:32,609 paralysis and stuff I believe to an 1643 01:08:37,789 --> 01:08:34,500 extent because I've experienced it a few 1644 01:08:40,579 --> 01:08:37,799 times is us maybe re-entering our body 1645 01:08:43,370 --> 01:08:40,589 because you know you will be conscious 1646 01:08:46,970 --> 01:08:43,380 it's like I'm aware that I'm kind of in 1647 01:08:48,559 --> 01:08:46,980 my body space but I can't move and you 1648 01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:48,569 start to panic and it's the worst it's 1649 01:08:51,740 --> 01:08:50,130 closer I'm closer phobic and so that's 1650 01:08:53,450 --> 01:08:51,750 the worst for me I have to like calm 1651 01:08:54,919 --> 01:08:53,460 myself and say everything's gonna be 1652 01:08:56,629 --> 01:08:54,929 okay get back in your body back and 1653 01:08:58,549 --> 01:08:56,639 buying all of a sudden I can now start 1654 01:09:00,680 --> 01:08:58,559 to move my body so I wonder if that's 1655 01:09:05,870 --> 01:09:00,690 not like you know OBE out-of-body 1656 01:09:08,959 --> 01:09:05,880 experience projecting oneself these are 1657 01:09:11,780 --> 01:09:08,969 all good questions I have a off-the-wall 1658 01:09:15,319 --> 01:09:11,790 question for both you and Keith and that 1659 01:09:18,049 --> 01:09:15,329 is what this is totally random what do 1660 01:09:20,839 --> 01:09:18,059 you all do if you ever get to the point 1661 01:09:24,950 --> 01:09:20,849 in your lives where you absolutely have 1662 01:09:27,470 --> 01:09:24,960 no impetus or drive to do any directing 1663 01:09:31,189 --> 01:09:27,480 or producing of any kind regarding the 1664 01:09:36,189 --> 01:09:31,199 kinds of things that you do no idea what 1665 01:09:39,829 --> 01:09:36,199 those words mean so once once a director 1666 01:09:42,140 --> 01:09:39,839 for life yeah I mean it's it's funny I 1667 01:09:44,599 --> 01:09:42,150 mean it's it I think Dean and I don't do 1668 01:09:47,329 --> 01:09:44,609 this it's not because God knows it's not 1669 01:09:48,260 --> 01:09:47,339 because of the money it's if you want to 1670 01:09:50,539 --> 01:09:48,270 make money there's better ways than 1671 01:09:52,370 --> 01:09:50,549 trying to be a director or other things 1672 01:09:54,530 --> 01:09:52,380 I mean it's it's great to be able to 1673 01:09:55,879 --> 01:09:54,540 just support yourself doing this but I 1674 01:09:58,280 --> 01:09:55,889 think it's more for the creative and the 1675 01:09:59,899 --> 01:09:58,290 love of telling these stories you know 1676 01:10:01,189 --> 01:09:59,909 we would be sitting around like like he 1677 01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:01,199 said earlier like Dean was talking about 1678 01:10:04,669 --> 01:10:03,090 we'd be you know cave people sitting 1679 01:10:07,580 --> 01:10:04,679 around a campfire telling these stories 1680 01:10:09,790 --> 01:10:07,590 it whatever medium we can tell these in 1681 01:10:12,229 --> 01:10:09,800 and I think that's why we move between 1682 01:10:14,629 --> 01:10:12,239 film and television and game 1683 01:10:17,470 --> 01:10:14,639 and comics and anything we can tell a 1684 01:10:20,330 --> 01:10:17,480 story and because the way the audience 1685 01:10:21,589 --> 01:10:20,340 experiences stories is right now we're 1686 01:10:23,540 --> 01:10:21,599 telling a story that would be through a 1687 01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:23,550 podcast we're talking stories you know 1688 01:10:28,489 --> 01:10:26,610 every day when we're you know telling 1689 01:10:30,890 --> 01:10:28,499 things to our families we're telling 1690 01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:30,900 stories to friends when we're out at you 1691 01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:33,210 know at a bar or over breakfast so I 1692 01:10:37,370 --> 01:10:35,489 think that as a storyteller to be able 1693 01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:37,380 to come up with these ideas and take 1694 01:10:41,390 --> 01:10:39,090 especially for us we take things are 1695 01:10:42,979 --> 01:10:41,400 inspired by reality and then tell a 1696 01:10:45,319 --> 01:10:42,989 what-if story and talk about an 1697 01:10:46,819 --> 01:10:45,329 alternate universe and other realities 1698 01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:46,829 that are there and that really 1699 01:10:49,790 --> 01:10:48,210 fascinates people and I think people 1700 01:10:51,950 --> 01:10:49,800 love the idea that they can take their 1701 01:10:54,259 --> 01:10:51,960 world and he play and and sort of 1702 01:10:56,689 --> 01:10:54,269 envision a different life in a different 1703 01:10:59,810 --> 01:10:56,699 place and either empathize with those 1704 01:11:02,299 --> 01:10:59,820 characters remembered remember him he 1705 01:11:03,950 --> 01:11:02,309 did deer hunter Michael Chu mono and he 1706 01:11:05,950 --> 01:11:03,960 actually evolved into kind of a 1707 01:11:08,839 --> 01:11:05,960 different person over a period of time 1708 01:11:10,430 --> 01:11:08,849 he was not the same person as when he 1709 01:11:13,279 --> 01:11:10,440 first directed the deer hunter 1710 01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:13,289 in fact he evolved into actually quite a 1711 01:11:17,899 --> 01:11:15,690 completely different person where I'm 1712 01:11:20,660 --> 01:11:17,909 going with this is are you the same 1713 01:11:23,089 --> 01:11:20,670 person when you first start doing 1714 01:11:25,489 --> 01:11:23,099 directing both of you or have you 1715 01:11:36,950 --> 01:11:25,499 changed completely from the point you 1716 01:11:42,290 --> 01:11:36,960 first started to know so you go keys 1717 01:11:45,500 --> 01:11:42,300 I'll go after I think for me it's a 1718 01:11:48,109 --> 01:11:45,510 great question I think that everything 1719 01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:48,119 you do affects you in some way and not 1720 01:11:51,470 --> 01:11:49,530 just your life experiences but 1721 01:11:53,509 --> 01:11:51,480 creatively when you do things and and 1722 01:11:56,390 --> 01:11:53,519 being a creative you're really putting 1723 01:11:58,040 --> 01:11:56,400 out a lot out there and especially now 1724 01:12:00,680 --> 01:11:58,050 that we're all so connected online and 1725 01:12:01,970 --> 01:12:00,690 and you know you you have YouTube and 1726 01:12:04,069 --> 01:12:01,980 Twitter and so many other places where 1727 01:12:06,049 --> 01:12:04,079 the audience has direct connection to 1728 01:12:08,509 --> 01:12:06,059 you as a filmmakers and creatives and 1729 01:12:10,220 --> 01:12:08,519 and creatively you're really taking a 1730 01:12:11,810 --> 01:12:10,230 very personal like or personal 1731 01:12:14,299 --> 01:12:11,820 experience and putting it out there and 1732 01:12:16,580 --> 01:12:14,309 sharing it with the world and based on 1733 01:12:17,899 --> 01:12:16,590 that feedback some people really respond 1734 01:12:19,819 --> 01:12:17,909 to that either positively or negatively 1735 01:12:21,529 --> 01:12:19,829 and it's great for the audience to love 1736 01:12:24,049 --> 01:12:21,539 something and it's also heartbreaking if 1737 01:12:25,140 --> 01:12:24,059 somebody crushes you by by insulting 1738 01:12:28,770 --> 01:12:25,150 your work 1739 01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:28,780 for me I started very early in music and 1740 01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:31,330 then moved into games and then moves 1741 01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:35,290 into directing so as a director I'm 1742 01:12:41,310 --> 01:12:38,050 still this was just my first film and in 1743 01:12:43,470 --> 01:12:41,320 that space but having 650 games and 1744 01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:43,480 other projects over 20 years really gave 1745 01:12:48,420 --> 01:12:45,970 me a chance to sort of learn the craft 1746 01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:48,430 and not be influenced by the audience as 1747 01:12:52,950 --> 01:12:49,930 much as just kind of getting to play in 1748 01:12:55,830 --> 01:12:52,960 these worlds so I guess now I am a much 1749 01:12:57,740 --> 01:12:55,840 different person because I'm looking at 1750 01:13:00,360 --> 01:12:57,750 not just the business of it but kind of 1751 01:13:02,220 --> 01:13:00,370 giving back to society and kind of 1752 01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:02,230 hoping that that the work that I 1753 01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:04,930 contribute can help further things in 1754 01:13:09,660 --> 01:13:07,690 the future and as well as giving back to 1755 01:13:12,510 --> 01:13:09,670 actors in the audience in other ways so 1756 01:13:14,430 --> 01:13:12,520 I think I've just matured as a human and 1757 01:13:16,710 --> 01:13:14,440 using the entertainment sort of backbone 1758 01:13:19,440 --> 01:13:16,720 is doing that but I think that had I 1759 01:13:20,460 --> 01:13:19,450 started earlier in life those projects 1760 01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:20,470 probably would have affected me in a 1761 01:13:27,450 --> 01:13:24,130 different way Diann ready to go er yeah 1762 01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:27,460 I think I fully transmuted I've got you 1763 01:13:39,050 --> 01:13:31,330 you know I think what it comes down to 1764 01:13:41,750 --> 01:13:39,060 is we are we're both extremely curious 1765 01:13:44,370 --> 01:13:41,760 everything starts out of curiosity um 1766 01:13:46,860 --> 01:13:44,380 and then the cause and effect of 1767 01:13:50,250 --> 01:13:46,870 curiosity and exploring something is 1768 01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:50,260 once we've discovered something then 1769 01:13:56,190 --> 01:13:52,570 this this strange thing happens which is 1770 01:13:58,470 --> 01:13:56,200 we become pointers where we go look at 1771 01:14:01,080 --> 01:13:58,480 this look at this thing I discovered 1772 01:14:03,630 --> 01:14:01,090 look at this thing that that is really 1773 01:14:05,820 --> 01:14:03,640 cool take a look at we're pointing it 1774 01:14:08,220 --> 01:14:05,830 that's why you see directors those 1775 01:14:10,530 --> 01:14:08,230 stills they're always pointing you know 1776 01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:10,540 they're pointing over here we're trying 1777 01:14:14,130 --> 01:14:12,130 to direct people's attention to 1778 01:14:16,890 --> 01:14:14,140 something interesting that we feel is 1779 01:14:19,170 --> 01:14:16,900 valid and so the other complaint radio 1780 01:14:22,440 --> 01:14:19,180 you're going to choose a speaker and 1781 01:14:23,700 --> 01:14:22,450 you're saying something so you better 1782 01:14:26,100 --> 01:14:23,710 have something to say because it's a 1783 01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:26,110 it's a lost opportunity if you don't so 1784 01:14:30,060 --> 01:14:28,210 so you know the spaces that we're 1785 01:14:33,420 --> 01:14:30,070 working in are kind of with a 1786 01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:33,430 fantastical but that is you know like 1787 01:14:37,620 --> 01:14:35,530 one might think of for me the perfect 1788 01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:37,630 film which captures everything that I 1789 01:14:41,370 --> 01:14:38,530 trying every 1790 01:14:45,180 --> 01:14:41,380 and I'm still striving for it 1791 01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:45,190 desperately this blender and when I see 1792 01:14:49,290 --> 01:14:46,690 Close Encounters of the Third Kind 1793 01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:49,300 it's wonder that look of opening the 1794 01:14:54,870 --> 01:14:51,850 door looking at this light wonder what 1795 01:14:57,480 --> 01:14:54,880 this thing is and to create that in a 1796 01:15:00,540 --> 01:14:57,490 movie is just golden and when you open 1797 01:15:02,370 --> 01:15:00,550 up people's idea of wonder you can you 1798 01:15:04,230 --> 01:15:02,380 can you know feed them anything that's 1799 01:15:07,440 --> 01:15:04,240 positive it will resonate it'll stick 1800 01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:07,450 much easier event than preaching or you 1801 01:15:10,620 --> 01:15:08,410 know everything else so it's finding 1802 01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:10,630 that that line there but it does each 1803 01:15:15,870 --> 01:15:13,810 film changes you because you know you'll 1804 01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:15,880 see actors I work with many actor who 1805 01:15:20,430 --> 01:15:18,130 when they're done finishing shooting 1806 01:15:22,740 --> 01:15:20,440 they go and they get a haircut they dye 1807 01:15:24,750 --> 01:15:22,750 their hair it's kind of like I need to 1808 01:15:26,430 --> 01:15:24,760 let that go that experience haven't shed 1809 01:15:27,780 --> 01:15:26,440 that skin and move on to the next and 1810 01:15:31,620 --> 01:15:27,790 you carry that and that's in your tool 1811 01:15:33,570 --> 01:15:31,630 bag and and as artists the challenge is 1812 01:15:35,970 --> 01:15:33,580 every year we have to dump out the tool 1813 01:15:38,490 --> 01:15:35,980 bag people don't stay relevant when you 1814 01:15:40,740 --> 01:15:38,500 hold on closely that tool bag this is my 1815 01:15:42,150 --> 01:15:40,750 stick you've got to empty it out you 1816 01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:42,160 have to put new stuff in because every 1817 01:15:46,470 --> 01:15:44,050 year communication the way that humans 1818 01:15:49,590 --> 01:15:46,480 communicate is different and the tools 1819 01:15:51,690 --> 01:15:49,600 in which they use are that are they the 1820 01:15:54,780 --> 01:15:51,700 apparatus is they use to take in that 1821 01:15:57,060 --> 01:15:54,790 communication changes and so we have to 1822 01:15:59,130 --> 01:15:57,070 go with it and if we're lucky if we're 1823 01:16:02,400 --> 01:15:59,140 lucky we're right there on the precipice 1824 01:16:06,720 --> 01:16:02,410 that's going on I was you know twenty 1825 01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:06,730 years or ten years too early with with 1826 01:16:12,660 --> 01:16:10,090 UFO abduction and that wasn't good you 1827 01:16:14,580 --> 01:16:12,670 don't want to be too early so you know 1828 01:16:18,780 --> 01:16:14,590 the timings gotta line up right but 1829 01:16:21,180 --> 01:16:18,790 ultimately yeah it's it does change you 1830 01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:21,190 at that as much as you change it 1831 01:16:26,370 --> 01:16:25,570 hopefully sorry sorry Frank I didn't

productions which 1841 01:16:51,300 --> 01:16:48,190 is owned by Keith REM and this is the 1842 01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:51,310 wife of Keith Valerie and she's involved 1843 01:16:54,240 --> 01:16:52,330 also I believe 1844 01:16:56,580 --> 01:16:54,250 and voice acting is that correct Valerie 1845 01:16:58,380 --> 01:16:56,590 yes good morning it is correct I am a 1846 01:17:00,300 -->

1849 01:17:12,810 --> 01:17:09,520 co-owner and basically the entire UFO 1850 01:17:15,510 --> 01:17:12,820 field is largely storyteller a lot of 1851 01:17:17,430 --> 01:17:15,520 times it's just folks speaking at 1852 01:17:21,030 --> 01:17:17,440 conferences doing interviews shows like 1853 01:17:23,010 --> 01:17:21,040 this but they don't have big budgets and 1854 01:17:25,350 --> 01:17:23,020 special effects it's just them telling 1855 01:17:28,830 --> 01:17:25,360 the story now anybody who's had any kind 1856 01:17:31,290 --> 01:17:28,840 of a sighting experience or a closer 1857 01:17:34,290 --> 01:17:31,300 encounter they want to tell their story 1858 01:17:36,990 --> 01:17:34,300 what advice do you have to them in terms 1859 01:17:38,670 --> 01:17:37,000 of that getting things together before 1860 01:17:40,260 --> 01:17:38,680 they go public with what they've got to 1861 01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:40,270 say you have any advice for those folks 1862 01:17:48,270 --> 01:17:46,050 you miss the rights to their story I 1863 01:17:53,070 --> 01:17:48,280 think they need to be well researched 1864 01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:53,080 and and to be taken credibly they really 1865 01:18:00,720 --> 01:17:56,290 need to understand that even if it's a 1866 01:18:03,300 --> 01:18:00,730 very personal and very sort of 1867 01:18:05,130 --> 01:18:03,310 challenging thing to be able to bring 1868 01:18:07,410 --> 01:18:05,140 that out in public to come out with that 1869 01:18:09,300 --> 01:18:07,420 information that they have to understand 1870 01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:09,310 that there's always going to be 1871 01:18:13,320 --> 01:18:10,930 skepticism there's always going to be 1872 01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:13,330 criticism there's gonna be doubters on 1873 01:18:17,250 --> 01:18:15,610 every side so the more research and the 1874 01:18:18,330 --> 01:18:17,260 more they understand the context of what 1875 01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:18,340 they saw 1876 01:18:23,250 --> 01:18:20,850 so they can balance out their opinion 1877 01:18:24,630 --> 01:18:23,260 the better so they don't just feel like 1878 01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:24,640 it doesn't sound like it's coming from 1879 01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:28,330 someone who doesn't have any 1880 01:18:33,060 --> 01:18:30,370 understanding of the context of where 1881 01:18:34,950 --> 01:18:33,070 they saw that Valerie I was going to ask 1882 01:18:37,640 --> 01:18:34,960 you could you please let us know a 1883 01:18:40,890 --> 01:18:37,650 little bit about what you do regarding 1884 01:18:44,480 --> 01:18:40,900 PCB productions just sort of give us a 1885 01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:44,490 general scope of you know everyday 1886 01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:47,650 activities regarding what you do I run 1887 01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:49,290 and run and run and run and run 1888 01:18:55,290 --> 01:18:52,410 [Laughter] 1889 01:18:57,720 --> 01:18:55,300 currently I am the main talent director 1890 01:18:59,130 --> 01:18:57,730 here at PCP so what I do is I direct the 1891 01:19:02,340 --> 01:18:59,140 voice-over talent who comes in to work 1892 01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:02,350 on our video game titles that are 1893 01:19:08,250 --> 01:19:06,010 brought to us so I've been working on 1894 01:19:12,570 --> 01:19:08,260 big titles such as like persona 5 and 1895 01:19:14,910 --> 01:19:12,580 Monster Hunter World and Katherine and 1896 01:19:16,620 --> 01:19:14,920 Metro and several other of the really 1897 01:19:18,060 --> 01:19:16,630 big titles so what I do is when the 1898 01:19:19,350 --> 01:19:18,070 actors come in we put them in the 1899 01:19:22,410 --> 01:19:19,360 voice-over booth and I'm the person who 1900 01:19:23,550 --> 01:19:22,420 sort of directs their performances and 1901 01:19:24,750 --> 01:19:23,560 make sure that they're consistent with 1902 01:19:25,830 --> 01:19:24,760 the rest of the game and the rest of the 1903 01:19:27,630 --> 01:19:25,840 performances we're getting so that we 1904 01:19:31,170 --> 01:19:27,640 get like sort of our entire cohesive 1905 01:19:32,940 --> 01:19:31,180 picture cohesive storyline do you have 1906 01:19:39,180 --> 01:19:32,950 any interesting stories from the Senate 1907 01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:39,190 to share with us the people we get to 1908 01:19:42,960 --> 01:19:40,330 work with on a daily basis are just 1909 01:19:45,810 --> 01:19:42,970 absolutely fascinating because they they 1910 01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:45,820 get to go you know from booth to booth 1911 01:19:49,770 --> 01:19:48,010 to booth being incredibly different 1912 01:19:51,870 --> 01:19:49,780 people you know they can be a child at 1913 01:19:53,370 --> 01:19:51,880 one moment and then be a giant ogre or a 1914 01:19:55,050 --> 01:19:53,380 monster the next moment and so I think 1915 01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:55,060 the most interesting thing I don't have 1916 01:19:58,470 --> 01:19:56,650 a specific story to tell but I think the 1917 01:20:00,660 --> 01:19:58,480 most interesting thing is that I get to 1918 01:20:03,330 --> 01:20:00,670 work with people that are basically 1919 01:20:05,130 --> 01:20:03,340 human vocal shapeshifters you know and 1920 01:20:07,740 --> 01:20:05,140 it's it's really fascinating to watch 1921 01:20:10,260 --> 01:20:07,750 them perfect these things and to grow as 1922 01:20:11,550 --> 01:20:10,270 we work with them over the past 20 years 1923 01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:11,560 that we've owned our business to watch 1924 01:20:14,610 --> 01:20:13,210 these people go from being unknown to 1925 01:20:16,050 --> 01:20:14,620 being like some of the top people in the 1926 01:20:18,330 --> 01:20:16,060 industry and just watching sort of that 1927 01:20:20,850 --> 01:20:18,340 growth that happened and Balor is also a 1928 01:20:22,470 --> 01:20:20,860 voice actor herself she Jenna she's she 1929 01:20:25,080 --> 01:20:22,480 had started on camera and done modeling 1930 01:20:29,340 --> 01:20:25,090 and and as she started to help me grow 1931 01:20:33,510 --> 01:20:29,350 PCB the other actors and clients 1932 01:20:35,010 --> 01:20:33,520 absolutely loved working with her and as 1933 01:20:37,580 --> 01:20:35,020 I've been moving into film and 1934 01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:37,590 television and these other crazy sort of 1935 01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:39,970 aspects of our company she's been really 1936 01:20:45,030 --> 01:20:42,130 taking over all the game side and she 1937 01:20:46,860 --> 01:20:45,040 not only lends her acting background to 1938 01:20:51,090 --> 01:20:46,870 directing these other actors but she's 1939 01:20:54,090 --> 01:20:51,100 bit and then at least 50 or 100 and huge 1940 01:20:55,920 --> 01:20:54,100 titles herself and I try to not to be 1941 01:20:57,450 --> 01:20:55,930 very nepotistic on our projects I'll 1942 01:20:58,860 --> 01:20:57,460 always if she's up for a project she's 1943 01:21:01,080 --> 01:20:58,870 always auditioning and doing things 1944 01:21:03,750 --> 01:21:01,090 outside of me being the director on my 1945 01:21:05,490 --> 01:21:03,760 projects so but she's been on Call of 1946 01:21:06,690 --> 01:21:05,500 Duty and she's been on what are some of 1947 01:21:08,910 --> 01:21:06,700 the top titles that I think he would 1948 01:21:11,580 --> 01:21:08,920 talk about call of duty and titanfall 1949 01:21:18,480 --> 01:21:11,590 and persona 4 she's the voice of the 1950 01:21:19,860 --> 01:21:18,490 Batmobile and the arcade game and I see 1951 01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:19,870 I'm looking at your website that you do 1952 01:21:23,640 --> 01:21:21,970 a motion capture there as well is that 1953 01:21:25,260 --> 01:21:23,650 something you started out with oh the ad 1954 01:21:27,810 --> 01:21:25,270 it is you went along and how did that 1955 01:21:30,690 --> 01:21:27,820 all come about and tell us a little bit 1956 01:21:32,790 --> 01:21:30,700 about that process the motion capture 1957 01:21:35,430 --> 01:21:32,800 has really been a great addition to our 1958 01:21:37,350 --> 01:21:35,440 company and as well as facial capture in 1959 01:21:38,940 --> 01:21:37,360 video games it you don't have the 1960 01:21:41,250 --> 01:21:38,950 benefit of just putting up a camera and 1961 01:21:43,860 --> 01:21:41,260 recording an actor everything is done 1962 01:21:46,380 --> 01:21:43,870 with computer generated models so that 1963 01:21:48,990 --> 01:21:46,390 means the body the face and the voice 1964 01:21:52,500 --> 01:21:49,000 are all Frankenstein together into a 1965 01:21:54,300 --> 01:21:52,510 performance and you can do traditional 1966 01:21:56,730 --> 01:21:54,310 what we call performance capture or 1967 01:21:58,710 --> 01:21:56,740 motion capture on a big stage where you 1968 01:22:00,420 --> 01:21:58,720 have these cameras we have about 200 1969 01:22:02,790 --> 01:22:00,430 cameras on these larger stages and 1970 01:22:04,170 --> 01:22:02,800 they're not actually regular cameras 1971 01:22:05,490 --> 01:22:04,180 that the way you would figure out let 1972 01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:05,500 you know would you see on film or 1973 01:22:10,140 --> 01:22:07,570 television these are infrared cameras 1974 01:22:12,150 --> 01:22:10,150 and they're only looking for light so 1975 01:22:15,900 --> 01:22:12,160 the actors wear these skin tight suits 1976 01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:15,910 that are very flattering and little 1977 01:22:20,370 --> 01:22:18,250 reflective markers on all their joints 1978 01:22:23,250 --> 01:22:20,380 on their elbows on their shoulders on 1979 01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:23,260 their wrists and these 200 cameras on 1980 01:22:27,660 --> 01:22:25,330 these stages they only see those points 1981 01:22:29,820 --> 01:22:27,670 of light so the actors basically become 1982 01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:29,830 marionettes they become these puppeteers 1983 01:22:35,580 --> 01:22:32,290 that are moving around their characters 1984 01:22:37,110 --> 01:22:35,590 and it's an amazing technology it's 1985 01:22:38,730 --> 01:22:37,120 different than what you see Pixar when 1986 01:22:41,630 --> 01:22:38,740 Pixar does one of their films their 1987 01:22:44,970 --> 01:22:41,640 animators hand animate all of their 1988 01:22:46,230 --> 01:22:44,980 characters by hand and with motion 1989 01:22:48,960 --> 01:22:46,240 capture these actors are actually 1990 01:22:51,290 --> 01:22:48,970 performing but the difference is is that 1991 01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:51,300 a lot of the people in the game industry 1992 01:22:56,310 --> 01:22:54,010 also kind of see the way movies are done 1993 01:22:58,470 --> 01:22:56,320 they see these these great actors coming 1994 01:23:00,450 --> 01:22:58,480 together and performing together so a 1995 01:23:03,300 --> 01:23:00,460 lot of times motion capture sets are 1996 01:23:04,860 --> 01:23:03,310 sort of emulating film sets which is a 1997 01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:04,870 little unfair to the actors because the 1998 01:23:08,970 --> 01:23:06,850 actors don't have lighting or they don't 1999 01:23:10,950 --> 01:23:08,980 have props and they don't have costumes 2000 01:23:13,650 --> 01:23:10,960 they're on these big giant stages with 2001 01:23:15,750 --> 01:23:13,660 no props trying to sort of imagine what 2002 01:23:17,580 --> 01:23:15,760 these 500-foot creatures are looking 2003 01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:17,590 like or these tanks they're rolling in 2004 01:23:22,020 --> 01:23:19,570 they're using their imagination which is 2005 01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:22,030 a lot of fun but it's very hard on some 2006 01:23:24,810 --> 01:23:23,290 of these actors to sort of understand 2007 01:23:26,880 --> 01:23:24,820 the context and deliver the same kind of 2008 01:23:29,790 --> 01:23:26,890 performances so what Valerie and I do 2009 01:23:31,009 --> 01:23:29,800 here is we sort of dissect the different 2010 01:23:34,369 --> 01:23:31,019 parts of performance 2011 01:23:36,099 --> 01:23:34,379 so the voice the face and the body we 2012 01:23:38,719 --> 01:23:36,109 sort of treat those equally in 2013 01:23:41,029 --> 01:23:38,729 independently and importantly when we 2014 01:23:43,549 --> 01:23:41,039 direct the actors to just do their face 2015 01:23:45,709 --> 01:23:43,559 and sometimes we're recording an actor 2016 01:23:47,599 --> 01:23:45,719 just doing the facial motions without 2017 01:23:49,159 --> 01:23:47,609 their voice on their body and then we'll 2018 01:23:51,199 --> 01:23:49,169 move to a motion capture stage and just 2019 01:23:53,119 --> 01:23:51,209 capture that motion and then we'll also 2020 01:23:56,179 --> 01:23:53,129 go in and do the voice and so that's 2021 01:23:58,489 --> 01:23:56,189 what makes our job very interesting and 2022 01:24:01,369 --> 01:23:58,499 difficult is that you're asking a very 2023 01:24:04,309 --> 01:24:01,379 skilled actor to work in a very 2024 01:24:05,719 --> 01:24:04,319 technical box and sound natural and say 2025 01:24:09,079 --> 01:24:05,729 I need you to come into the soundproof 2026 01:24:10,729 --> 01:24:09,089 room and I need you to repeat a line in 2027 01:24:12,619 --> 01:24:10,739 two point three four seconds within 15 2028 01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:12,629 percent of the original mocap material 2029 01:24:15,889 --> 01:24:14,010 and you have to do that a hundred times 2030 01:24:17,689 --> 01:24:15,899 an hour and the first or second take and 2031 01:24:23,119 --> 01:24:17,699 the actor looks at us and goes what the 2032 01:24:24,739 --> 01:24:23,129 hell now Keitha when you did the Phoenix 2033 01:24:26,539 --> 01:24:24,749 incident you used a lot of the voice 2034 01:24:28,549 --> 01:24:26,549 actor I'm assuming a lot of the same 2035 01:24:31,149 --> 01:24:28,559 people you generally use in the studio 2036 01:24:33,469 --> 01:24:31,159 used a lot of voice actors in that movie 2037 01:24:35,629 --> 01:24:33,479 yeah what was interesting was that we 2038 01:24:37,879 --> 01:24:35,639 knew we had a pretty tight budget and we 2039 01:24:40,159 --> 01:24:37,889 only had 14 days to shoot the movie so I 2040 01:24:42,289 --> 01:24:40,169 really really needed actors that I could 2041 01:24:43,699 --> 01:24:42,299 depend on that I trusted that I had a 2042 01:24:46,429 --> 01:24:43,709 shorthand with that I'd worked on 2043 01:24:49,339 --> 01:24:46,439 hundreds of games with already so I 2044 01:24:50,869 --> 01:24:49,349 could sort of lean on them to really 2045 01:24:53,929 --> 01:24:50,879 portray characters that were very 2046 01:24:56,359 --> 01:24:53,939 natural to them and to help us work in a 2047 01:24:57,889 --> 01:24:56,369 space that either was scripted we were 2048 01:24:59,569 --> 01:24:57,899 using a very unscripted sort of 2049 01:25:03,349 --> 01:24:59,579 methodology of how to get through some 2050 01:25:05,629 --> 01:25:03,359 of these scenes so Troy Baker who is now 2051 01:25:08,029 --> 01:25:05,639 it's been in the last of us and Bioshock 2052 01:25:09,679 --> 01:25:08,039 a lot of big games travis willingham 2053 01:25:13,339 --> 01:25:09,689 who's now on critical role and he was on 2054 01:25:15,649 --> 01:25:13,349 halo Liam O'Brien also kind of a newer 2055 01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:15,659 actor that for the film space but in 2056 01:25:18,679 --> 01:25:17,010 games he's done hundreds of big games 2057 01:25:21,259 --> 01:25:18,689 like Oscars wrath and now he's on 2058 01:25:23,389 --> 01:25:21,269 critical role and Yuri Lowenthal who was 2059 01:25:24,739 --> 01:25:23,399 still do spider-man and a big Sony 2060 01:25:26,509 --> 01:25:24,749 spider-man game but he was also in the 2061 01:25:28,639 --> 01:25:26,519 Prince of Persia and hundreds of other 2062 01:25:30,500 --> 01:25:28,649 characters so these are really seasoned 2063 01:25:31,699 --> 01:25:30,510 actors that most people in the film and 2064 01:25:33,859 --> 01:25:31,709 television space don't know what they 2065 01:25:35,419 --> 01:25:33,869 look like but any gamer would know that 2066 01:25:38,329 --> 01:25:35,429 these are some of the top guys working 2067 01:25:40,819 --> 01:25:38,339 in the space so I really wanted to bring 2068 01:25:42,979 --> 01:25:40,829 in very familiar and very skilled actors 2069 01:25:43,970 --> 01:25:42,989 to help me in this space so we could 2070 01:25:45,890 --> 01:25:43,980 play for 2071 01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:45,900 my first film and I thought that gave me 2072 01:25:51,260 --> 01:25:48,090 a great backbone to be able to have 2073 01:25:53,180 --> 01:25:51,270 great performances in in this very tight 2074 01:25:55,610 --> 01:25:53,190 sort of production window that we were 2075 01:25:57,229 --> 01:25:55,620 going to do they like the adjustment 2076 01:25:59,000 --> 01:25:57,239 going from the controlled environment of 2077 01:26:00,979 --> 01:25:59,010 a studio to going out and shooting a 2078 01:26:02,900 --> 01:26:00,989 movie yeah I was like being on a giant 2079 01:26:05,720 --> 01:26:02,910 mocap stage and we shot the scenes just 2080 01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:05,730 like a mocap set except for our 2081 01:26:11,540 --> 01:26:08,850 cameraman became sort of the focal point 2082 01:26:13,729 --> 01:26:11,550 and we would have headsets for for 2083 01:26:16,850 --> 01:26:13,739 Brendan Cox it was our DP and he would 2084 01:26:19,190 --> 01:26:16,860 shadow Yuri Lowenthal the the cameraman 2085 01:26:20,540 --> 01:26:19,200 basically in the film and they had this 2086 01:26:22,220 --> 01:26:20,550 amazing dance that they would work 2087 01:26:24,140 --> 01:26:22,230 through and we would do these scenes in 2088 01:26:25,490 --> 01:26:24,150 five minutes scenes as opposed to 2089 01:26:28,220 --> 01:26:25,500 individual cuts we would actually go 2090 01:26:29,810 --> 01:26:28,230 through the entire scene together and it 2091 01:26:31,940 --> 01:26:29,820 was it was a great process and I think 2092 01:26:33,650 --> 01:26:31,950 that they loved being able to expand 2093 01:26:35,990 --> 01:26:33,660 what they have done in games and onto 2094 01:26:37,880 --> 01:26:36,000 camera I'm Valerie wanted to ask you a 2095 01:26:40,370 --> 01:26:37,890 question and then I posed this question 2096 01:26:43,250 --> 01:26:40,380 to your husband and then also to Dean 2097 01:26:45,950 --> 01:26:43,260 after that and that is up I know that 2098 01:26:48,920 --> 01:26:45,960 you love what you do I know you probably 2099 01:26:51,410 --> 01:26:48,930 live it and breathe it every day and 2100 01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:51,420 probably every night what do you and 2101 01:26:57,650 --> 01:26:54,810 your husband do to be able to get away 2102 01:27:00,160 --> 01:26:57,660 from everything after a while just to be 2103 01:27:10,940 --> 01:27:00,170 able to you know get a breather from it 2104 01:27:13,070 --> 01:27:10,950 so you don't burn out that Keith is my 2105 01:27:19,160 --> 01:27:13,080 little shark and if he stops swimming 2106 01:27:21,200 --> 01:27:19,170 he'll die he never stops so he really 2107 01:27:23,290 --> 01:27:21,210 the only thing I found that can make him 2108 01:27:26,030 --> 01:27:23,300 stop is I have to take him to some 2109 01:27:28,250 --> 01:27:26,040 middle of the ocean Islands that has no 2110 01:27:29,540 --> 01:27:28,260 Wi-Fi or put him on a cruise ship that 2111 01:27:31,250 --> 01:27:29,550 goes out into the middle of the ocean 2112 01:27:32,479 --> 01:27:31,260 where we have absolutely no connection 2113 01:27:34,580 --> 01:27:32,489 to the outside world because it's 2114 01:27:36,950 --> 01:27:34,590 literally the only way I can make him 2115 01:27:38,360 --> 01:27:36,960 stop working and the funny thing is is 2116 01:27:39,710 --> 01:27:38,370 that every time I've done that he'll 2117 01:27:43,070 --> 01:27:39,720 usually sit there and write a new script 2118 01:27:44,810 --> 01:27:43,080 or something so that like he entirely 2119 01:27:46,550 --> 01:27:44,820 stops working since he stops doing our 2120 01:27:49,580 --> 01:27:46,560 day-to-day and then focuses more on the 2121 01:27:51,290 --> 01:27:49,590 creative of it yeah it for me it my 2122 01:27:54,709 --> 01:27:51,300 brain just doesn't turn off and I can 2123 01:27:57,690 --> 01:27:54,719 tell it's a really it's a curse and a 2124 01:28:00,480 --> 01:27:57,700 blessing because when I get an idea 2125 01:28:01,770 --> 01:28:00,490 I can't stop until I get that at that 2126 01:28:04,740 --> 01:28:01,780 idea out of my head 2127 01:28:07,020 --> 01:28:04,750 whether it's visually or we're sharing 2128 01:28:08,940 --> 01:28:07,030 it with someone even a sin that first 2129 01:28:10,980 --> 01:28:08,950 book I did it was a dream we Val took me 2130 01:28:13,350 --> 01:28:10,990 up doing up the Arctic Circle with our 2131 01:28:14,580 --> 01:28:13,360 brand new baby daughter Julia and she's 2132 01:28:16,530 --> 01:28:14,590 like how although she was like nine 2133 01:28:18,660 --> 01:28:16,540 months six months old we're on this 2134 01:28:21,120 --> 01:28:18,670 little boat up in the Arctic Circle away 2135 01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:21,130 from email away from the Internet away 2136 01:28:24,510 --> 01:28:23,170 from anything and I wake up in the 2137 01:28:27,080 --> 01:28:24,520 middle of the night and I just dreamt 2138 01:28:29,580 --> 01:28:27,090 the entire movie and the entire book and 2139 01:28:31,230 --> 01:28:29,590 and I would always have you know big 2140 01:28:32,730 --> 01:28:31,240 dreams like this about once a year but I 2141 01:28:34,290 --> 01:28:32,740 would always lose them because I pick up 2142 01:28:36,840 --> 01:28:34,300 and I fall back asleep and then I just 2143 01:28:39,210 --> 01:28:36,850 sort of forget about it and this time I 2144 01:28:41,640 --> 01:28:39,220 knew I couldn't lose this story and so I 2145 01:28:44,580 --> 01:28:41,650 literally this is an inside cabin in his 2146 01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:44,590 little boat and I shook her awake like 2147 01:28:55,650 --> 01:28:46,690 for the morning pitch-black our daughter 2148 01:28:57,720 --> 01:28:55,660 is like sound asleep and so one hour I 2149 01:28:59,880 --> 01:28:57,730 just tell her this dream this giant war 2150 01:29:01,350 --> 01:28:59,890 the purgatory wars and these angels that 2151 01:29:02,820 --> 01:29:01,360 are harvesting these souls to be in this 2152 01:29:04,170 --> 01:29:02,830 giant war and these brothers that are 2153 01:29:05,850 --> 01:29:04,180 caught in the middle of this whole thing 2154 01:29:09,720 --> 01:29:05,860 and and I just told her the whole story 2155 01:29:11,880 --> 01:29:09,730 and and at the end of this story she's 2156 01:29:13,440 --> 01:29:11,890 silent and and I kind of lean in because 2157 01:29:16,440 --> 01:29:13,450 I can't see her cuz it's pitch black I 2158 01:29:18,690 --> 01:29:16,450 said did you fall back asleep I just 2159 01:29:20,850 --> 01:29:18,700 like in stunned silence and she said you 2160 01:29:22,170 --> 01:29:20,860 just dreamt all of that and I was like 2161 01:29:23,340 --> 01:29:22,180 well I didn't have that when we had to 2162 01:29:25,440 --> 01:29:23,350 bat a few hours ago 2163 01:29:27,120 --> 01:29:25,450 and but then I couldn't get those images 2164 01:29:29,930 --> 01:29:27,130 out of my head I don't know what that's 2165 01:29:32,460 --> 01:29:29,940 the excited or terrified but all that 2166 01:29:34,740 --> 01:29:32,470 well and that just goes to show you you 2167 01:29:41,070 --> 01:29:34,750 can't even sleep to get away from it 2168 01:29:43,110 --> 01:29:41,080 your worsening in your sleep yes when he 2169 01:29:44,700 --> 01:29:43,120 sleeps and grabs these little nuggets of 2170 01:29:46,710 --> 01:29:44,710 things and bring oh yeah yeah let me 2171 01:29:48,480 --> 01:29:46,720 before you jump back to D my me yeah 2172 01:29:50,640 --> 01:29:48,490 jump in with Keith really quick and that 2173 01:29:53,280 --> 01:29:50,650 is regarding just their the graphic 2174 01:29:55,800 --> 01:29:53,290 novel form if you've got an idea for a 2175 01:29:59,460 --> 01:29:55,810 story that seems like that's about the 2176 01:30:01,590 --> 01:29:59,470 lowest tech approach that you can take 2177 01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:01,600 they get that story told and get that 2178 01:30:05,880 --> 01:30:03,730 out there and can you just talk about 2179 01:30:07,860 --> 01:30:05,890 the form a little bit it seems like it's 2180 01:30:09,900 --> 01:30:07,870 a very inclusive that pretty much 2181 01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:09,910 anybody really has a shot at it if they 2182 01:30:14,090 --> 01:30:10,890 think they've got a good 2183 01:30:16,930 --> 01:30:14,100 work it it's the absolute best way to 2184 01:30:19,640 --> 01:30:16,940 take an idea and really flesh it out 2185 01:30:22,490 --> 01:30:19,650 it's not the best way to sort of dive 2186 01:30:24,140 --> 01:30:22,500 into the in-depth personalities and 2187 01:30:27,080 --> 01:30:24,150 characters because it is a more of a 2188 01:30:31,100 --> 01:30:27,090 visual medium than it is from from a 2189 01:30:32,750 --> 01:30:31,110 storytelling dialog perspective but what 2190 01:30:34,070 --> 01:30:32,760 it does allow you to do is that if 2191 01:30:36,350 --> 01:30:34,080 you're envisioning a world and 2192 01:30:39,680 --> 01:30:36,360 characters and and the interaction and 2193 01:30:42,530 --> 01:30:39,690 sort of the arc of a story you and 2194 01:30:44,780 --> 01:30:42,540 another artist or just yourself you can 2195 01:30:46,010 --> 01:30:44,790 sort of envision what a giant war 2196 01:30:47,560 --> 01:30:46,020 between having the hell's going to look 2197 01:30:50,510 --> 01:30:47,570 like if you're going to envision an 2198 01:30:52,700 --> 01:30:50,520 armada of spaceships attacking a planet 2199 01:30:56,090 --> 01:30:52,710 an artist can draw that without a whole 2200 01:30:58,760 --> 01:30:56,100 team of visual effects animators and all 2201 01:31:01,370 --> 01:30:58,770 whole studio to do a scene just just an 2202 01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:01,380 artist can can visualize that so what 2203 01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:03,930 would normally be storyboards or just 2204 01:31:08,540 --> 01:31:06,090 stick figures of deciding what an idea 2205 01:31:10,490 --> 01:31:08,550 is gonna be a graphic novel you can 2206 01:31:13,250 --> 01:31:10,500 really establish an idea and put it out 2207 01:31:14,750 --> 01:31:13,260 there and for me it's absolutely the 2208 01:31:16,310 --> 01:31:14,760 best way to start off with a project 2209 01:31:18,770 --> 01:31:16,320 because you can now share that with 2210 01:31:21,020 --> 01:31:18,780 someone show them the pacing the 2211 01:31:23,360 --> 01:31:21,030 characters the world and then use that 2212 01:31:26,270 --> 01:31:23,370 to develop it you can't make any money 2213 01:31:28,190 --> 01:31:26,280 off doing it unfortunately is very 2214 01:31:30,470 --> 01:31:28,200 difficult and hopefully we're finding 2215 01:31:32,240 --> 01:31:30,480 some new ways to change that but it is 2216 01:31:35,360 --> 01:31:32,250 absolutely the best way I think for me 2217 01:31:37,580 --> 01:31:35,370 as a storyteller to start the beginning 2218 01:31:40,880 --> 01:31:37,590 of an idea indeed how do you get away 2219 01:31:48,680 --> 01:31:40,890 from it all I don't have a husband so 2220 01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:48,690 I'm not sure how it's you never get away 2221 01:31:53,630 --> 01:31:50,010 that's the problem 2222 01:31:55,580 --> 01:31:53,640 never ever um we're driving an alley my 2223 01:31:58,100 --> 01:31:55,590 girlfriend will tell you I'm like 2224 01:32:00,140 --> 01:31:58,110 thinking on something and I see 2225 01:32:04,220 --> 01:32:00,150 something on the street or whatever and 2226 01:32:06,740 --> 01:32:04,230 that gets a domino effect going and you 2227 01:32:09,740 --> 01:32:06,750 know and then it's like I have to tell 2228 01:32:12,200 --> 01:32:09,750 her I've got it that's the first first 2229 01:32:14,690 --> 01:32:12,210 level of realization of it is speaking 2230 01:32:16,730 --> 01:32:14,700 it to someone else many a time I've done 2231 01:32:18,800 --> 01:32:16,740 the same thing it's not really cool that 2232 01:32:21,440 --> 01:32:18,810 we do that but oh I'll do the same thing 2233 01:32:24,110 --> 01:32:21,450 in the morning if I even wait til the 2234 01:32:26,930 --> 01:32:24,120 morning and I'll hit Ally with an idea 2235 01:32:30,590 --> 01:32:26,940 that I have and and then it's kind of 2236 01:32:33,860 --> 01:32:30,600 you know usually after you have coffee 2237 01:32:35,900 --> 01:32:33,870 you can tell if the idea has some some 2238 01:32:38,270 --> 01:32:35,910 you know legs to it sometimes it's just 2239 01:32:42,080 --> 01:32:38,280 one aspect of it but usually when it 2240 01:32:44,420 --> 01:32:42,090 comes it comes hard and fast I always 2241 01:32:47,060 --> 01:32:44,430 look at like you know way back before 2242 01:32:50,090 --> 01:32:47,070 you know like Socrates and Plato they 2243 01:32:52,970 --> 01:32:50,100 would the term having a muse was a real 2244 01:32:54,650 --> 01:32:52,980 thing they could yeah they considered 2245 01:32:56,420 --> 01:32:54,660 that you know someone who was really 2246 01:32:58,280 --> 01:32:56,430 good in some field they would say 2247 01:33:01,370 --> 01:32:58,290 whether your muse must be very powerful 2248 01:33:03,890 --> 01:33:01,380 and in fact those artists or those you 2249 01:33:06,260 --> 01:33:03,900 know whatever their field was they would 2250 01:33:08,660 --> 01:33:06,270 give credit to the muse and then at some 2251 01:33:10,250 --> 01:33:08,670 point they stopped doing that I still 2252 01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:10,260 like to give credit to them because I 2253 01:33:14,480 --> 01:33:12,090 know when something comes and you're 2254 01:33:16,040 --> 01:33:14,490 like you know Keith can you know relate 2255 01:33:18,140 --> 01:33:16,050 to this I'm sure and same with Valerie 2256 01:33:21,380 --> 01:33:18,150 it hits you you're like where the hell 2257 01:33:23,030 --> 01:33:21,390 did that come from and then your job is 2258 01:33:26,210 --> 01:33:23,040 there's a there's a portal that has 2259 01:33:28,580 --> 01:33:26,220 opened up between up above or whatever 2260 01:33:31,100 --> 01:33:28,590 your muse is hitting you and and it 2261 01:33:33,860 --> 01:33:31,110 doesn't stay open forever so I always 2262 01:33:35,270 --> 01:33:33,870 say to you know you know I've been 2263 01:33:38,360 --> 01:33:35,280 coming filmmakers and stuff that's for 2264 01:33:41,420 --> 01:33:38,370 advice I say when you hit that you you 2265 01:33:42,830 --> 01:33:41,430 stop everything and you go you know it 2266 01:33:48,110 --> 01:33:42,840 sounds like ally and I need to take a 2267 01:33:51,950 --> 01:33:48,120 girls weekend I want to say is when I 2268 01:33:54,470 --> 01:33:51,960 met Keith an alien kind he had the best 2269 01:33:57,290 --> 01:33:54,480 booth there I mean it was Jesus it was 2270 01:34:00,590 --> 01:33:57,300 it was the Keith and Valerie show it's 2271 01:34:02,840 --> 01:34:00,600 just called what it is beautiful and I 2272 01:34:05,900 --> 01:34:02,850 was across the way and what was most 2273 01:34:06,890 --> 01:34:05,910 impressive wasn't the huge backdrop very 2274 01:34:09,710 --> 01:34:06,900 high 2275 01:34:12,590 --> 01:34:09,720 it was the teamwork between he and 2276 01:34:15,920 --> 01:34:12,600 Valerie and their kids they were there 2277 01:34:18,920 --> 01:34:15,930 and to see this like you know this kind 2278 01:34:21,950 --> 01:34:18,930 of Nouveau mom and pop organization that 2279 01:34:25,730 --> 01:34:21,960 was that was all pulling it together I 2280 01:34:27,380 --> 01:34:25,740 mean they're all you know we're all 2281 01:34:29,720 --> 01:34:27,390 striving for the same thing they all 2282 01:34:30,920 --> 01:34:29,730 have you know again wonder it's like 2283 01:34:35,360 --> 01:34:30,930 they're doing this adventure together 2284 01:34:36,530 --> 01:34:35,370 and it's very admirable and you know 2285 01:34:37,950 --> 01:34:36,540 their kids are gonna benefit greatly 2286 01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:37,960 from them and 2287 01:34:45,380 --> 01:34:42,010 and from this and and so that was yeah 2288 01:34:49,610 --> 01:34:45,390 that's funny about that is that if our 2289 01:34:52,260 --> 01:34:49,620 kids now are growing up pretty fast and 2290 01:34:54,720 --> 01:34:52,270 and even though they may want to join 2291 01:34:56,940 --> 01:34:54,730 the business at some point you really 2292 01:35:01,170 --> 01:34:56,950 see that they've sort of inherited a lot 2293 01:35:03,150 --> 01:35:01,180 of our energy and madness and but but 2294 01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:03,160 I've always felt that people need to do 2295 01:35:07,530 --> 01:35:05,530 what they love to do and that should be 2296 01:35:09,540 --> 01:35:07,540 their their careers it's not what they 2297 01:35:11,130 --> 01:35:09,550 have to do not what they're being paid 2298 01:35:13,709 --> 01:35:11,140 to do but what they love to do and 2299 01:35:15,840 --> 01:35:13,719 that's what was for me for music and and 2300 01:35:18,150 --> 01:35:15,850 even to this day I really still feel 2301 01:35:20,190 --> 01:35:18,160 like I'm just playing in my hobby but 2302 01:35:24,479 --> 01:35:20,200 what was interesting is our daughter 2303 01:35:25,620 --> 01:35:24,489 Julia who's 17 is this unbelievable 2304 01:35:27,360 --> 01:35:25,630 Baker 2305 01:35:29,010 --> 01:35:27,370 she loves to bake it's just for 2306 01:35:31,680 --> 01:35:29,020 something for her just makes her pet 2307 01:35:34,530 --> 01:35:31,690 Serena in her zone she just loves what 2308 01:35:36,120 --> 01:35:34,540 she does and she discovered that she had 2309 01:35:39,120 --> 01:35:36,130 a thyroid condition where she couldn't 2310 01:35:41,190 --> 01:35:39,130 really have wheat or soy and but she 2311 01:35:43,700 --> 01:35:41,200 loved to bake and how you do that so she 2312 01:35:46,050 --> 01:35:43,710 started researching all these different 2313 01:35:47,700 --> 01:35:46,060 sort of ingredients and other things and 2314 01:35:50,940 --> 01:35:47,710 she came up with these cupcakes that are 2315 01:35:53,459 --> 01:35:50,950 these like just gluten-free gourmet 2316 01:35:55,620 --> 01:35:53,469 things but but being in a world where 2317 01:35:58,020 --> 01:35:55,630 we're surrounded by celebrities and 2318 01:35:59,610 --> 01:35:58,030 video games and movies and and and pop 2319 01:36:01,530 --> 01:35:59,620 culture and she loves it as much as 2320 01:36:04,770 --> 01:36:01,540 she's a fan as much as she is working in 2321 01:36:05,940 --> 01:36:04,780 the industry and and so what's funny is 2322 01:36:07,410 --> 01:36:05,950 is that you see all this work that we 2323 01:36:09,660 --> 01:36:07,420 put into our video games and our movies 2324 01:36:11,280 --> 01:36:09,670 and the promotion in our boots and so 2325 01:36:15,959 --> 01:36:11,290 our daughter came up

01:38:01,960 up being a millionaire out of all of us 2373 01:38:05,860 --> 01:38:04,310 exactly and I and that's actually just 2374 01:38:07,960 --> 01:38:05,870 one thing to point out what Dean just 2375 01:38:09,610 --> 01:38:07,970 said is that's exactly what it is as 2376 01:38:12,010 --> 01:38:09,620 hard as I was working since the time I 2377 01:38:13,780 --> 01:38:12,020 was a kid I never knew why I was working 2378 01:38:16,180 --> 01:38:13,790 so hard I had all these ideas and I 2379 01:38:18,610 --> 01:38:16,190 loved working but the moment that Val 2380 01:38:20,440 --> 01:38:18,620 and I decided to have kids it suddenly 2381 01:38:23,490 --> 01:38:20,450 clicked and I realized that we're doing 2382 01:38:26,020 --> 01:38:23,500 this for them and not in just like a 2383 01:38:27,430 --> 01:38:26,030 sort of a charity way it's just sort of 2384 01:38:30,910 --> 01:38:27,440 everything you're doing is to sort of 2385 01:38:33,520 --> 01:38:30,920 help them grow their lives and and 2386 01:38:35,860 --> 01:38:33,530 that's not meant to be patronizing it's 2387 01:38:37,660 --> 01:38:35,870 just sort of like I now have a reason to 2388 01:38:39,760 --> 01:38:37,670 work hard because I want to make a 2389 01:38:41,140 --> 01:38:39,770 better life for them and if she's really 2390 01:38:45,670 --> 01:38:41,150 successful she'll be able to finance 2391 01:38:48,250 --> 01:38:45,680 your movies right she'll be she'll be 2392 01:38:49,870 --> 01:38:48,260 supporting you beautiful name 2393 01:38:55,210 --> 01:38:49,880 could you please tell her to make some 2394 01:38:57,760 --> 01:38:55,220 UFO hahaha cupcakes we would appreciate 2395 01:39:01,750 --> 01:38:57,770 that by the way before we wrap this up 2396 01:39:03,400 --> 01:39:01,760 and I do have to Frank you know if he 2397 01:39:04,899 --> 01:39:03,410 has any more questions yeah I do have 2398 01:39:08,859 --> 01:39:04,909 one last one that was sticking 2399 01:39:12,009 --> 01:39:08,869 my head laughter you asked that okay 2400 01:39:14,770 --> 01:39:12,019 yeah one for all three of you actually 2401 01:39:16,449 --> 01:39:14,780 yeah when you go into a the idea of 2402 01:39:19,060 --> 01:39:16,459 making a movie you've got an idea for a 2403 01:39:20,679 --> 01:39:19,070 movie but this is a going to be a 2404 01:39:22,750 --> 01:39:20,689 project it's gonna take a while it might 2405 01:39:24,669 --> 01:39:22,760 take years for it to come to fruition 2406 01:39:26,649 --> 01:39:24,679 is there a tipping point is there 2407 01:39:29,020 --> 01:39:26,659 something at some point a little voice 2408 01:39:31,479 --> 01:39:29,030 tells you that yeah this is the idea I 2409 01:39:33,699 --> 01:39:31,489 there's a movie here I'm gonna go for it 2410 01:39:35,560 --> 01:39:33,709 because I'm sure you know for every good 2411 01:39:38,379 --> 01:39:35,570 idea there might have been two or three 2412 01:39:40,839 --> 01:39:38,389 that you tossed away so if you could 2413 01:39:43,709 --> 01:39:40,849 talk a little bit about that system that 2414 01:39:51,330 --> 01:39:43,719 process that would be great 2415 01:39:53,979 --> 01:39:51,340 yeah Dean you take this one oh yeah 2416 01:39:56,799 --> 01:39:53,989 here's a thing whenever you get one of 2417 01:40:00,879 --> 01:39:56,809 those ideas automatically a couple dozen 2418 01:40:04,409 --> 01:40:00,889 people in LA get the same idea so you're 2419 01:40:07,060 --> 01:40:04,419 racing to get it done you're racing to 2420 01:40:12,069 --> 01:40:07,070 uphold what was great about the idea and 2421 01:40:13,929 --> 01:40:12,079 keep it consistent but it boy those are 2422 01:40:15,250 --> 01:40:13,939 almost like mirages man you get him and 2423 01:40:18,609 --> 01:40:15,260 it's like oh my god this is total 2424 01:40:22,299 --> 01:40:18,619 zeitgeist and I've run with a few of 2425 01:40:25,199 --> 01:40:22,309 those and and you know I did this one I 2426 01:40:28,679 --> 01:40:25,209 work also I've done a couple superhero 2427 01:40:32,890 --> 01:40:28,689 scripts and one of them was this teenage 2428 01:40:34,839 --> 01:40:32,900 character dark dark kind of it kind of 2429 01:40:38,609 --> 01:40:34,849 like Heather's meets us meets a Spider 2430 01:40:41,409 --> 01:40:38,619 Man and he had these elastic powers and 2431 01:40:43,060 --> 01:40:41,419 and so I was able to get through a buddy 2432 01:40:45,089 --> 01:40:43,070 mind that was up to this big agency I 2433 01:40:47,259 --> 01:40:45,099 was able to get it out there and 2434 01:40:50,319 --> 01:40:47,269 literally the week before it was gonna 2435 01:40:51,699 --> 01:40:50,329 go out to to Sony Paramount Warner 2436 01:40:53,319 --> 01:40:51,709 Brothers 20 Century Fox 2437 01:40:56,890 --> 01:40:53,329 Spielberg announced that he was going to 2438 01:40:58,569 --> 01:40:56,900 do Plastic Man and so no one wants to 2439 01:41:01,870 --> 01:40:58,579 compete with Spielberg out in Hawaii 2440 01:41:03,489 --> 01:41:01,880 but I can't imagine yeah it all came 2441 01:41:05,709 --> 01:41:03,499 back and it was like no one wants to do 2442 01:41:07,209 --> 01:41:05,719 that so thanks for playing and that was 2443 01:41:09,879 --> 01:41:07,219 it and then the brothers that they never 2444 01:41:11,469 --> 01:41:09,889 made a movie and so on 2445 01:41:15,759 --> 01:41:11,479 I think when it you know when it does 2446 01:41:16,689 --> 01:41:15,769 come yeah you know it'll let you know 2447 01:41:18,790 --> 01:41:16,699 you just have to kind of pay attention 2448 01:41:20,680 --> 01:41:18,800 and be open and 2449 01:41:23,950 --> 01:41:20,690 and that's half but it's being open and 2450 01:41:25,810 --> 01:41:23,960 receptive especially dream-life I mean 2451 01:41:27,759 --> 01:41:25,820 that's don't underestimate the 2452 01:41:30,009 --> 01:41:27,769 subconscious because it's working for us 2453 01:41:32,950 --> 01:41:30,019 a lot of times your idea is ahead of its 2454 01:41:34,660 --> 01:41:32,960 time where it's the right idea but it 2455 01:41:36,729 --> 01:41:34,670 just isn't the right time for the 2456 01:41:38,620 --> 01:41:36,739 audience and they used to say that from 2457 01:41:42,040 --> 01:41:38,630 script to screen for a movie with seven 2458 01:41:44,259 --> 01:41:42,050 years and and and it's very true in some 2459 01:41:46,649 --> 01:41:44,269 respects is that if you're have an idea 2460 01:41:49,810 --> 01:41:46,659 and you want to get something made 2461 01:41:51,669 --> 01:41:49,820 there's there's a lot of challenges not 2462 01:41:53,529 --> 01:41:51,679 just from a financing standpoint but 2463 01:41:55,750 --> 01:41:53,539 also just distribution and getting it 2464 01:41:57,879 --> 01:41:55,760 out there to the audience and even what 2465 01:41:59,770 --> 01:41:57,889 I experienced with with Phoenix you know 2466 01:42:02,169 --> 01:41:59,780 I got the movie out in 2016 and now the 2467 01:42:03,250 --> 01:42:02,179 stuff that happened with undisclosed and 2468 01:42:06,790 --> 01:42:03,260 the History Channel and the nimitz 2469 01:42:09,430 --> 01:42:06,800 coming out in 2017 2018 the movie was 2470 01:42:12,069 --> 01:42:09,440 just a year or two ahead of its time for 2471 01:42:14,140 --> 01:42:12,079 hitting that wave of the public's 2472 01:42:15,850 --> 01:42:14,150 awareness of what it was trying to say 2473 01:42:18,220 --> 01:42:15,860 so sometimes you might have a great idea 2474 01:42:19,479 --> 01:42:18,230 but there's just not the audience ready 2475 01:42:22,060 --> 01:42:19,489 for it 2476 01:42:23,830 --> 01:42:22,070 so as a filmmaker I think you have all 2477 01:42:25,600 --> 01:42:23,840 these stories floating in your head and 2478 01:42:27,339 --> 01:42:25,610 that's what's so overwhelming for film 2479 01:42:29,830 --> 01:42:27,349 executives and people that are meeting 2480 01:42:32,100 --> 01:42:29,840 with people like Dean and myself and Val 2481 01:42:34,600 --> 01:42:32,110 where we have all these great ideas and 2482 01:42:36,549 --> 01:42:34,610 weirdest puing ideas and they're like 2483 01:42:38,470 --> 01:42:36,559 whoa how do you pick what you're working 2484 01:42:40,509 --> 01:42:38,480 on why don't you just focus on one and 2485 01:42:42,339 --> 01:42:40,519 the problem is is it's impossible to 2486 01:42:44,109 --> 01:42:42,349 focus on one because if you put all your 2487 01:42:45,489 --> 01:42:44,119 eggs in one basket you'll never get a 2488 01:42:47,259 --> 01:42:45,499 head and you'll be waiting seven years 2489 01:42:49,569 --> 01:42:47,269 for that picture yeah and not just the 2490 01:42:52,720 --> 01:42:49,579 follow-up the turnaround time on the 2491 01:42:55,560 --> 01:42:52,730 unidentified TTS a show basically the 2492 01:42:59,890 --> 01:42:55,570 along and his team announced the project 2493 01:43:03,149 --> 01:42:59,900 in October of 2017 and the show 2494 01:43:06,549 --> 01:43:03,159 basically wraps up in the early July of 2495 01:43:09,399 --> 01:43:06,559 2019 so you're talking maybe a year and 2496 01:43:11,500 --> 01:43:09,409 three quarters roughly from the start of 2497 01:43:13,720 --> 01:43:11,510 the project to actually getting the show 2498 01:43:16,299 --> 01:43:13,730 done and getting six installments run on 2499 01:43:18,220 --> 01:43:16,309 cable would you say that's a pretty good 2500 01:43:20,739 --> 01:43:18,230 turnaround time it seems to me like it 2501 01:43:22,810 --> 01:43:20,749 is based on what you're telling me that 2502 01:43:24,549 --> 01:43:22,820 is a quick turnaround time but also it 2503 01:43:27,279 --> 01:43:24,559 doesn't have to be that way Yul Berg did 2504 01:43:29,950 --> 01:43:27,289 the post in ten months from agreeing to 2505 01:43:32,620 --> 01:43:29,960 do the script to going to screen and ten 2506 01:43:34,720 --> 01:43:32,630 months time that that is 2507 01:43:37,860 --> 01:43:34,730 moving almost at the speed of thought a 2508 01:43:40,300 --> 01:43:37,870 speed of creativity let's say and so 2509 01:43:42,879 --> 01:43:40,310 Keith and I are you know we're always 2510 01:43:45,729 --> 01:43:42,889 interested in how do we get it not only 2511 01:43:48,669 --> 01:43:45,739 to the art the audience because every 2512 01:43:50,770 --> 01:43:48,679 idea even the worst idea has a huge 2513 01:43:52,479 --> 01:43:50,780 audience that has a certain section of 2514 01:43:54,790 --> 01:43:52,489 cross-section people who love that so 2515 01:43:56,350 --> 01:43:54,800 it's a matter of bridging that gap and 2516 01:43:58,810 --> 01:43:56,360 going directly to them and getting it 2517 01:44:00,370 --> 01:43:58,820 out there the fact is technology has 2518 01:44:01,780 --> 01:44:00,380 never been first of all it's the most 2519 01:44:04,689 --> 01:44:01,790 expensive art form in the history of 2520 01:44:06,790 --> 01:44:04,699 mankind and so to have technology where 2521 01:44:09,129 --> 01:44:06,800 you can get your DSLR camera you know I 2522 01:44:12,100 --> 01:44:09,139 get a five thousand dollar film a couple 2523 01:44:13,990 --> 01:44:12,110 years ago and did this thing and it was 2524 01:44:15,550 --> 01:44:14,000 all done editing everything within four 2525 01:44:18,040 --> 01:44:15,560 months so technically that could have 2526 01:44:20,140 --> 01:44:18,050 gone to market and so it was just me was 2527 01:44:21,760 --> 01:44:20,150 a very small you know crew but it is 2528 01:44:23,770 --> 01:44:21,770 possible to do it the only problem is 2529 01:44:27,640 --> 01:44:23,780 that you have to intersect with the 2530 01:44:29,470 --> 01:44:27,650 people who who have the yeses and so 2531 01:44:32,290 --> 01:44:29,480 depending how big your budget is that's 2532 01:44:33,370 --> 01:44:32,300 the that's the duration of how long it's 2533 01:44:37,780 --> 01:44:33,380 gonna take to get out there 2534 01:44:39,010 --> 01:44:37,790 traditionally I'm sorry well you're 2535 01:44:40,510 --> 01:44:39,020 seeing an intersection right because 2536 01:44:41,919 --> 01:44:40,520 you're seeing games now being one 2537 01:44:44,470 --> 01:44:41,929 hundred forty billion dollar industry 2538 01:44:47,290 --> 01:44:44,480 and help selling music and television 2539 01:44:49,209 --> 01:44:47,300 and film and everything combined but the 2540 01:44:51,939 --> 01:44:49,219 development time of a big game like a 2541 01:44:53,709 --> 01:44:51,949 console games three years and as Dean 2542 01:44:55,689 --> 01:44:53,719 was saying is that you can you know you 2543 01:44:58,810 --> 01:44:55,699 can produce a film the actual production 2544 01:45:00,700 --> 01:44:58,820 of a film even a big blockbuster film is 2545 01:45:02,830 --> 01:45:00,710 fourteen eighteen months so if you have 2546 01:45:05,770 --> 01:45:02,840 a three year video game at a fourteen 2547 01:45:07,600 --> 01:45:05,780 year fourteen month motion picture they 2548 01:45:10,330 --> 01:45:07,610 don't line up so if you're getting a 2549 01:45:12,310 --> 01:45:10,340 giant movie out you really have to go 2550 01:45:14,500 --> 01:45:12,320 backwards in time and make sure that 2551 01:45:17,140 --> 01:45:14,510 you're planning out your video game and 2552 01:45:19,060 --> 01:45:17,150 all your other launches to go forward 2553 01:45:20,830 --> 01:45:19,070 but that being the case the production 2554 01:45:22,720 --> 01:45:20,840 time is not really what holds up the 2555 01:45:26,050 --> 01:45:22,730 movie it's what Dean was saying it's 2556 01:45:29,229 --> 01:45:26,060 it's sort of the the the yes people to 2557 01:45:31,689 --> 01:45:29,239 agree to finance and distribute and 2558 01:45:33,189 --> 01:45:31,699 promote and market and

and 2586 01:46:54,310 --> 01:46:53,030 everything set up you could turn that 2587 01:46:55,720 --> 01:46:54,320 around in weeks I mean with today's 2588 01:46:57,640 --> 01:46:55,730 technology and be able to do that 2589 01:47:01,030 --> 01:46:57,650 absolutely 2590 01:47:03,730 --> 01:47:01,040 even with post ok are you all ready for 2591 01:47:07,360 --> 01:47:03,740 my question it's the last question yes 2592 01:47:08,860 --> 01:47:07,370 it's big it's a biggie and my question 2593 01:47:11,350 --> 01:47:08,870 is gonna be posted Valerie first then 2594 01:47:13,330 --> 01:47:11,360 Keith and Eden and my question for you 2595 01:47:17,680 --> 01:47:13,340 Valerie which is the same for everybody 2596 01:47:21,340 --> 01:47:17,690 else what is your takeaway regarding 2597 01:47:24,070 --> 01:47:21,350 everything you've done having to do with 2598 01:47:27,490 --> 01:47:24,080 the company PCB productions that you and 2599 01:47:30,580 --> 01:47:27,500 your husband owned together from the 2600 01:47:32,620 --> 01:47:30,590 point of its inception until right now 2601 01:47:34,840 --> 01:47:32,630 and by the way just so our listeners 2602 01:47:36,730 --> 01:47:34,850 know they're currently getting ready 2603 01:47:38,500 --> 01:47:36,740 we're very lucky to have them on today 2604 01:47:40,420 --> 01:47:38,510 because they're in the midst of getting 2605 01:47:42,010 --> 01:47:40,430 ready for something else tomorrow which 2606 01:47:45,820 --> 01:47:42,020 you can mention what it is if you'd like 2607 01:47:48,130 --> 01:47:45,830 Keith but uh or Valerie but Valerie what 2608 01:47:50,380 --> 01:47:48,140 is your takeaway regarding everything 2609 01:47:52,210 --> 01:47:50,390 you've done what's the moral of the 2610 01:47:53,710 --> 01:47:52,220 story for you what have you learned from 2611 01:47:55,810 --> 01:47:53,720 everything that you've been involved in 2612 01:48:11,919 --> 01:47:55,820 regarding what you and your husband are 2613 01:48:18,790 --> 01:48:15,010 I think the takeaway is to do what you 2614 01:48:20,799 --> 01:48:18,800 love do it with integrity and surround 2615 01:48:24,910 --> 01:48:20,809 yourself with good people there's no 2616 01:48:29,049 --> 01:48:24,920 time to work book you are bad energy or 2617 01:48:31,089 --> 01:48:29,059 bad attitudes because it just eats away 2618 01:48:33,600 --> 01:48:31,099 at your creativity and it eats away at 2619 01:48:36,790 --> 01:48:33,610 the positive experience and in the end 2620 01:48:37,959 --> 01:48:36,800 it's not about the end result it really 2621 01:48:40,149 --> 01:48:37,969 is about the journey to get there 2622 01:48:41,680 --> 01:48:40,159 because if you spend three years toiling 2623 01:48:43,870 --> 01:48:41,690 away at something in its absolute hell 2624 01:48:45,819 --> 01:48:43,880 then who cares if the end process comes 2625 01:48:47,379 --> 01:48:45,829 out great it was three years of your 2626 01:48:49,930 --> 01:48:47,389 life that you don't get back that you 2627 01:48:51,850 --> 01:48:49,940 spent you know with negativity or bad 2628 01:48:54,700 --> 01:48:51,860 energy or you know not wanting to do it 2629 01:48:58,000 --> 01:48:54,710 so I think it's really about having that 2630 01:48:59,229 --> 01:48:58,010 positive journey and if the journey is 2631 01:49:01,450 --> 01:48:59,239 positive I think that the results will 2632 01:49:04,000 --> 01:49:01,460 always come out well yeah we've had we 2633 01:49:06,879 --> 01:49:04,010 have the same here that that when people 2634 01:49:10,000 --> 01:49:06,889 say that the end justifies the means 2635 01:49:12,069 --> 01:49:10,010 we don't subscribe to that because if 2636 01:49:13,870 --> 01:49:12,079 you have a successful project but it was 2637 01:49:16,390 --> 01:49:13,880 a nightmare getting there we don't want 2638 01:49:18,850 --> 01:49:16,400 any part of that because for us it's all 2639 01:49:21,189 --> 01:49:18,860 about the means that justifies the end 2640 01:49:23,229 --> 01:49:21,199 the idea that your day to day is awesome 2641 01:49:27,040 --> 01:49:23,239 I get to work every day with my with my 2642 01:49:29,319 --> 01:49:27,050 wife my family's here I get to see my 2643 01:49:32,319 --> 01:49:29,329 kids grow up I get to work with some of 2644 01:49:35,350 --> 01:49:32,329 the most amazing talented performers in 2645 01:49:38,169 --> 01:49:35,360 the world as a result of working on 2646 01:49:40,030 --> 01:49:38,179 these big projects and and it's an 2647 01:49:41,859 --> 01:49:40,040 amazing magical thing for us and it's 2648 01:49:43,810 --> 01:49:41,869 inspiring every day because we really 2649 01:49:45,640 --> 01:49:43,820 genuinely love what we do and we love 2650 01:49:47,080 --> 01:49:45,650 the people we're working with and the 2651 01:49:49,540 --> 01:49:47,090 moment we have someone whom we've had a 2652 01:49:52,240 --> 01:49:49,550 couple over the 20 years you can count 2653 01:49:54,129 --> 01:49:52,250 them on less than one hand but we've had 2654 01:49:57,250 --> 01:49:54,139 a few people that just when they bring a 2655 01:50:00,310 --> 01:49:57,260 negativity or some kind of just sign 2656 01:50:03,010 --> 01:50:00,320 agenda to the to the table if life is 2657 01:50:04,660 --> 01:50:03,020 too short you know and for us we just 2658 01:50:06,850 --> 01:50:04,670 want to really like Valerie said work 2659 01:50:08,980 --> 01:50:06,860 with good people and and be inspired by 2660 01:50:10,990 --> 01:50:08,990 those people that Rhian spire the 2661 01:50:13,080 --> 01:50:11,000 the artwork that we're producing and I 2662 01:50:16,510 --> 01:50:13,090 think that's the real takeaway is that 2663 01:50:18,040 --> 01:50:16,520 at the end of the day it really is what 2664 01:50:19,990 --> 01:50:18,050 we did to get there and it's been a 2665 01:50:22,060 --> 01:50:20,000 great journey and that's why you know 2666 01:50:23,710 --> 01:50:22,070 this year in October Valley are 2667 01:50:27,730 --> 01:50:23,720 celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary 2668 01:50:33,340 --> 01:50:27,740 and and we've been together for I'm 2669 01:50:34,780 --> 01:50:33,350 taking him to an island but that's it 2670 01:50:37,930 --> 01:50:34,790 because you know Val and I have been a 2671 01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:37,940 team the whole whole way and and and now 2672 01:50:41,860 --> 01:50:39,890 that she's sort of taking over PCB on 2673 01:50:44,290 --> 01:50:41,870 the game side in the studios and 2674 01:50:46,660 --> 01:50:44,300 allowing me to just you know be my shark 2675 01:50:49,540 --> 01:50:46,670 self and kind of go and create these 2676 01:50:52,090 --> 01:50:49,550 projects and have madness it's been a 2677 01:50:53,320 --> 01:50:52,100 good good process and and we love it and 2678 01:50:55,150 --> 01:50:53,330 our kids are now getting to the point 2679 01:51:03,280 --> 01:50:55,160 where they're gonna go up to college and 2680 01:51:06,520 --> 01:51:03,290 have their own adventures Dean um yeah I 2681 01:51:10,630 --> 01:51:06,530 have to underscore what Valentin said 2682 01:51:13,420 --> 01:51:10,640 100 percent having been in a few bands 2683 01:51:15,220 --> 01:51:13,430 before that is kind of the perfect 2684 01:51:17,140 --> 01:51:15,230 analogy the chemistry of a band is 2685 01:51:18,280 --> 01:51:17,150 critical because you're trying to create 2686 01:51:20,800 --> 01:51:18,290 something that's gonna play it a certain 2687 01:51:23,470 --> 01:51:20,810 harmony a certain level and it just 2688 01:51:25,870 --> 01:51:23,480 takes one person to throw you off 2689 01:51:28,570 --> 01:51:25,880 looking I may not be the fanciest 2690 01:51:31,810 --> 01:51:28,580 drummer and on my best day I scrape the 2691 01:51:35,470 --> 01:51:31,820 bottom of just okay but I can keep it me 2692 01:51:36,820 --> 01:51:35,480 and if the if the the chemistry isn't 2693 01:51:39,610 --> 01:51:36,830 right and there's someone in the band 2694 01:51:41,290 --> 01:51:39,620 that is has some strange agenda that 2695 01:51:43,780 --> 01:51:41,300 isn't you know all for one and one for 2696 01:51:45,520 --> 01:51:43,790 all and serving the parts there's a line 2697 01:51:48,060 --> 01:51:45,530 of cure to New York but people will do 2698 01:51:51,190 --> 01:51:48,070 this for free if they're doing that I 2699 01:51:53,020 --> 01:51:51,200 sometimes will have you know I find that 2700 01:51:56,290 --> 01:51:53,030 I it's hard for me to you know keep on 2701 01:51:59,800 --> 01:51:56,300 beat it's like I'm you know that's this 2702 01:52:01,270 --> 01:51:59,810 kind of blatant example as you can get 2703 01:52:04,840 --> 01:52:01,280 worse like I'm just not feeling the vibe 2704 01:52:07,540 --> 01:52:04,850 and so uh life as I said way too short 2705 01:52:08,650 --> 01:52:07,550 so you try to find people that you know 2706 01:52:11,800 --> 01:52:08,660 you don't have to have all the answers 2707 01:52:14,200 --> 01:52:11,810 and so my goal is you know it's you can 2708 01:52:16,300 --> 01:52:14,210 stand taller when a bunch of you you 2709 01:52:18,190 --> 01:52:16,310 know are all put in that pyramid neural 2710 01:52:22,379 --> 01:52:18,200 tanning together and it's and it's fun 2711 01:52:24,330 --> 01:52:22,389 because we're a joke as writers merch 2712 01:52:25,560 --> 01:52:24,340 to say that we're psychic that we can 2713 01:52:27,659 --> 01:52:25,570 see in the crystal ball that what we 2714 01:52:29,429 --> 01:52:27,669 grow is going to be perfectly executors 2715 01:52:31,500 --> 01:52:29,439 on set identically to what's been 2716 01:52:32,669 --> 01:52:31,510 written and then edited and the thing 2717 01:52:34,739 --> 01:52:32,679 that's fun is you get out there and the 2718 01:52:36,299 --> 01:52:34,749 actors are bringing their own crystal 2719 01:52:37,620 --> 01:52:36,309 ball and you're all going together this 2720 01:52:39,899 --> 01:52:37,630 whole big thing that becomes even 2721 01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:39,909 greater and so the more you listen the 2722 01:52:44,279 --> 01:52:42,010 more you're open to greater the more in 2723 01:52:46,139 --> 01:52:44,289 depth you have so it just becomes a 2724 01:52:48,270 --> 01:52:46,149 snowball that goes and if you're smart 2725 01:52:51,419 --> 01:52:48,280 will let people do what they do that you 2726 01:52:54,089 --> 01:52:51,429 best and and try to your job is only to 2727 01:52:56,399 --> 01:52:54,099 stir them in the right bridge thank you 2728 01:52:59,040 --> 01:52:56,409 I would
