To do a studio film, something with Disney. My father is thrilled.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I always wanted to do a Disney movie.
My dad always produces, and I would always sit in producers' meetings with him. I like the whole thing of putting a movie together. I think that's very exciting.
I always wanted to be a stay-at-home dad making art, making movies.
I come from a family where my father is a filmmaker and professor of film.
My dad couldn't connect to my wanting to be a filmmaker. He was very connected in entertainment, and through him I met Steven Spielberg and got rides on his private plane to California. I'd see Spielberg's people reading scripts. I was like, 'That's what I want to be when I grow up.'
Working with my dad was such a gas. We approached the work in a similar way. We only made two films together when I was an adult, Tucker, and Blown Away, but it was so much fun to play with your parent like that.
I wanted to be a part of the Disney history.
I love working for Disney! They are my family.
There is such amazing talent at Disney. My job is 100% creative, and I am very excited to creatively lead them.
My dad was a low budget film director. I grew up as a kid making movies, based on the love of seeing what my dad was doing.
