Show Notes:
- Films being undeniably good or bad
- Outsiders, counter cultures, and authenticity
- Music videos being a conduit for experimenting and preparing for independent and feature film making
- Evoking tone and feeling in music video directing
- Being disconnected from technology helping him stay focused and grounded
