Film Courage, How do you know you have a good concept for a movie?
2
I asked my manager I don't know I think I do have to kind of bounce
3
that idea off of people I always think I have a great concept
4
but from what I've learned is I have to let
5
that settle a little bit and then really kind of just keep thinking about
6
that idea and now I have a manager so he will tell me
7
if he's seen like a thousand of these ideas already or not
8
but yeah so do you think
9
that you also have to know for yourself though I mean what
10
if your manager says oh this is great
11
but you don't feel committed to the work yeah I mean first
12
and foremost you have to believe in it right
13
but for me I always believe in my concept
14
so my problem is more like I always believe in it
15
so I need somebody else to tell me if it's actually not
16
that great and not everything my manager would say I agree with
17
so and there are some well one film
18
that I want to do where I know it's a great story and concept
19
so that's the one I'm going to do not as a
20
live action oh with unreal engine yeah you're going to do it with
21
like using real people in real time okay yeah interesting do writers come up with ideas
22
or are ideas just revealed to them I think the ideas are revealed
23
because and that goes into like creativity right like where does imagination come from
24
and I don't think it'll be very egotistical to say
25
that oh I'm the one that comes up with an idea because if you think about thought
26
thoughts thoughts just pop into your head
27
and sometimes just random thoughts would come from out of nowhere
28
so it's like where do those thoughts come from it's coming
29
from the same source where your imagination your creativity will come from so it's really just about you
30
capturing that and being open to it
31
when it arrives yeah I think there's a book thoughts are things
32
and so yeah just that it's thoughts or energy of course
33
and yeah that we could be you know you know
34
when they they we pick up things that are in the zeitgeist
35
or whatever it's it's you know this energy
36
that we're tapping into yeah why do you have a hard time coming up with ideas
37
so I think I I don't have a hard time coming up with ideas
38
because I get a bunch of ideas all the time
39
but it's really about me choosing the right idea that I'm interested in and
40
a lot of times I just have to let it marinate
41
a little bit until I it's the ideas I keep going back to those are the ones
42
that ultimately I'll write a script for do you think in
43
some ways you might be stopping yourself from coming up with ideas or or maybe too critical judging them too
44
I think a lot of times I come up with an idea that is really just
45
there's not enough substance to it it's just like a gimmick idea like oh what
46
if one day you wake up
47
and the world is upside down say okay then what like what is your actual story like who's your character
48
because there has to be more than just like the concept
49
and a lot of times I get stuck on that
50
which is like I have like maybe a gimmicky kind of idea or interesting idea but it's like
51
what is the actual story so that's usually where I get stuck like I need that story
52
to fit into that idea
53
so it's it's one thing to have like a cool movie idea we talked about one
54
that I had off camera but it's another to actually flush it out
55
and spend time on yeah like what is the actual story like what is it really about the character
56
and the journey of this character so a lot of times like
57
that takes a lot of time to really bring out
58
and for me it takes like multiple rewrites before I actually see what the story is about oh
59
so you may not even have an idea of the ending
60
or the whole character arc until you actually start the writing
61
process I might have kind of an idea of what the ending is going to be like
62
but sometimes I have to just start writing
63
and then more of it will come to me like in the middle of typing
64
as I'm typing a scene out it'll start going in a different direction
65
and I'll just okay I'll go in that direction and then later
66
when I look back on that scene I'm like oh wow
67
this is like what the movie is about like it kind
68
of just came out you know as I was typing it Film Courage, How do you know an idea is yours that you were the one to bring it to life?
69
I don't think I'm the one to…I don't think any ideas are mine.
70
I think they come from this other realm,
71
this other place and I'm just the one that's
72
interpreting that idea and bringing it out, expressing it
73
and that's why a lot of times they say there's no
74
original idea anymore like every story has been told already
75
but it's like how you tell that same story
76
because everything really comes from just like a human nature aspect
77
but we retell it in the context of like a modern society
78
or retell it in the context of a science fiction world so yeah if an idea comes too easy
79
do you trust it yeah I think I think if it's a good idea it doesn't matter how this idea comes because
80
if it pops in your head and it's and you'll know
81
when it's like oh wow there's there's something to this like it speaks to you
82
but it doesn't matter how it came about
83
and a lot of times for me I have to put myself in an environment where the ideas can come
84
so for me it's like
85
as I'm writing ideas will come to me
86
so that's like a meditative state as I'm writing
87
or I go for a walk or if I travel somewhere
88
or if I go to a park
89
and just sit there surfing like just gotta find a place where your thoughts can move freely
90
and you're able to really be in tune with
91
that do you think there's a correlation between sort of like navigating waves
92
and and thoughts
93
and writing is there like a hmm I mean I've always thought of surfing as a great analogy for life
94
so I think there's something to what you just said
95
because the waves will keep coming right but you kind of have to be ready first of all for the wave
96
and second of all you have to pick the right wave like if you try to paddle for every wave
97
you'll just eat it maybe on a few of them
98
but you got to pick the right wave the right shape
99
and you have to be in the right position to get
100
that wave and then you'll ride like a really nice wave
101
because you said that some of these ideas were just gimmicks
102
so is that almost like you're also picking the wave you're trying to decide what's what's a gimmick
103
and what's actually a good
104
yeah that's it right
105
so idea is too glassy you can't I don't know I don't know the surfing metaphor okay
106
but is that something that you really took partake is
107
that something you did lot
108
when you were in san diego you were surfing in san diego
109
but also out here yeah I live pretty close to the beach
110
so I can surf I'm like 10 minutes from the beach
111
is there a difference in the in the san diego surf
112
community versus la yeah I think la they're a little bit more aggressive
113
oh really in terms of like getting their little spot in
114
the water yeah yeah oh wow okay san diego it's more
115
like hey man yeah it's all good okay yeah I think
116
that's sort of a metaphor for the area too yeah
117
but do you prefer being around an energy where you kind of have to fight for your spot
118
or do you like to be more in a harmonious I
119
I tend to stay away from the other surfers I mean I really don't care
120
if the waves are good in one spot I'll be where those waves are
121
but generally like
122
and I think for most surfers you kind of want to
123
have your space yeah most people probably don't go into the water just to you know be social it's more about
124
finding something in them some kind of interesting
125
but do you do you see that same analogy in in the film world
126
because you know there's a lot of judgment on oh well this film
127
and these credentials from this festival do you think you take
128
that same like I just want to find my little spot
129
in the film world
130
and just make my movies yeah I mean I really don't like going out to the film events
131
and doing that whole thing and I do think there is a lot of like judgment and
132
this idea of like oh they got an award and this film didn't get an award
133
like with the oscars and all that so for me now
134
I just want to focus on why I initially got into filmmaking
135
which is like to be creative to tell stories
136
and that's the part that I like I don't like the aspect of like outside validation
137
and having festivals or like critics approve your film as like a good film
138
or not you know you can put it out to the audience
139
and the audience can tell you if like they like it
140
or not I guess that goes back to the original question
141
when we first asked you when we first started rolling
142
which was why do you stop or or why did you stop chasing success
143
which sort of ties into
144
that maybe yeah yeah festivals are great for watching other films sorry yeah I love festivals
145
but you gotta recognize them for what they are
146
which is it's just a celebration of films it's not like a place where you get validated although it's become
147
that in the industry for sure especially with places like Sundance or Cannes
148
but yeah you kind of have to I mean at least
149
for me maybe some other filmmakers are really gunning for that
150
but for me like I'm just really focused on creating something
151
that is interesting for me and something that I think a specific audience might like
152
what's fascinating about the surfing the nature of the mindset in one area versus another
153
yeah there's a lot of analogy with surfing
154
and life have you ever been told to like you're in my little area I'm trying to catch this wave
155
or I'm trying to do no mostly most times people will just
156
if you drop in on someone when they're surfing
157
or they'll drop in on you that's usually when there's some conflict that happens but I've definitely had some
158
run -ins with surfers but I think after a few experiences like
159
that it's like hey I'm just trying to go out
160
and surf I don't want to go out surf
161
and then come back feeling like I just had argument with someone
162
because then both people don't feel great for the rest of the day
163
I'll rather just like ignore you
164
if you drop in I'll be like okay I'll just paddle away I don't care what does
165
that mean to drop in like if somebody's on the wave already
166
and then you paddle for the wave
167
and kind of like dropping in front of them like cut them off ah okay I drop in
168
gotcha okay interesting how common is it for you to work
169
on a movie idea only to abandon it months later you
170
said sometimes you you get it out of your system when you write a script
171
yeah I've definitely done
172
that a lot I would say I've had few scripts where I wrote maybe a draft
173
or two and then kind of just left it
174
yeah I would say a lot of projects kind of go through a few drafts and then get left aside so
175
yeah but that's kind of like my process like I have to write
176
that story for me to realize oh this is like wasn't really it
177
and and for me like it's the process of discovery
178
like what was I interested in with
179
that story once I write it then maybe there wasn't something
180
that was that interesting anymore
181
so I go to the next thing how long does it
182
take you to write the first draft it could be like well
183
because it takes some time for me to get to
184
that first draft like I first have to like write a treatment
185
or an outline and that process would take a
186
while it could take like two months maybe
187
but to write the actual draft once I have my outline it could just be like maybe a couple weeks
188
so it's worth it to you to spend that much time
189
and decide okay I've gone through a couple drafts I'm actually not sure about this story
190
it's okay yeah yeah for me I like the process of writing
191
so I don't mind doing that and And I am getting better as a writer when I do that.
192
It's like practicing, it's like you're going to the gym.
193
I don't go to the gym, I hate going to the gym but it's kind of like
194
that idea you're just exercising your muscles so
195
that you can write the next script that will be a great script that you're really passionate about.
