Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.66,0:01:52.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I took a camera,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.34,0:02:05.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because then I'd go to film school,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.06,0:02:08.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I eventually been talking\Nto classmates, my teachers, like,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.11,0:02:35.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if you get that chance,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.12,0:02:37.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and let's say the Hollywood\Nsystem buys it,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.29,0:02:40.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the studio pays for you to go off\Nfor a couple years and make that movie,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.31,0:02:50.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or it does well,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.04,0:02:53.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that's the moment\Nyou get to start building your following.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.68,0:02:56.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I'm stepping back as a student\Nstill in film school going,
