You know, the first 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:18.920 time we had Shiloh on, I think we mentioned the 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:23.479 fact that Shiloh lost his house gosh, twelve years ago. Shiloh, 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:27.360 it was fifteen years ago in a fire, one of 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:29.640 them really California fires. I mean, now it seems like 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:33.520 it's kind of a regular thing. But yeah, so we 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:35.920 talked about that, and then we did an episode the 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:39.520 week of the fires, if I remember, and we were 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:42.560 talking about how it was affecting the city and our 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:46.480 lives and everybody we knew, and of course, like one 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.880 of the biggest areas that it affected is the entertainment industry. 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.360 And you know, I just have was having so many 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:56.200 conversations with so many people, like a friend who is 0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:58.920 a production designer and she was working the week or 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.160 she was working the day of the fires that canceled 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:04.680 the shoot and then took the shoot to Atlanta. Yeah, 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:07.880 because it was like things have to get shot things, 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.760 you know, And it wasn't really anybody's fault, but it's 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:12.800 just the fact of the matter is we lost a 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:14.320 lot of jobs. We lost a lot of. 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:17.600 The industry, and so that was just piling on after 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:21.040 losing a ton of jobs and everything else your school. 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:23.840 So anyway, I just kept having these conversations and Chilo 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:27.639 kept having these conversations, and like everybody we knew was 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.280 affected or had lost or you know, I did the jobs, 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:35.040 and Chilo actually did something about it, as opposed to 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.960 everybody else that I know and myself included. So Hilo 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:41.000 tell us. What you what you've started? 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.600 Please you did help? 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:48.200 Like this has been Yeah, it's it's been a wild 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:51.400 experience because I, you know, when when the fires were 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:53.600 happening in La, like we all were trying to figure 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:55.480 out how to help and running around and it was 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:59.560 just so traumatic for everybody who was so very and terrifying, 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.080 you know. And I was running around and donating and 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:05.440 doing all the immediate needs stuff and that's when I 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:07.600 was looking back to my experience when I had lost 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:10.800 my home and the fire, and you know, there's that 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.680 period where you're dealing with all that immediate need of 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:15.840 getting a house, dealing with the insurance, like it's just 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:19.840 so overwhelming, you know. But then there's the period after 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:24.000 that where you almost miss that because that's when you 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.280 start really questioning what you want to do with your life, 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.400 because it takes three months or so and that's where 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.919 you're completely lost and you have I keep using the 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.400 word opportunity, but it's not the right word, but you 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:38.880 have the option to get up on your life because 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.960 it's a before and after moment, especially for people in 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:44.920 the creative arts or in the entertainment industry. Like you 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.040 were saying, well, it's like it's been so difficult with 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:50.520 COVID and back to back strikes and now yeah, house 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.120 burns down. You know, yes, of course you're going to 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:54.840 move to Atlanta or New Mexico. 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:57.720 You know what's keeping you here? 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.440 And why fight for dream of trying to live this 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.680 creative life which everybody feels like the world's telling you, 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:09.880 you know, get a real job, right. Yeah, So I said, okay, wow, 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:13.920 I remember looking back at my period fifteen years ago, 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:17.719 and I was lucky enough to have Rider and you 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:20.000 know you guys too, I mean, will I remember I 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:23.320 stayed with you a month, I think when I was 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:28.320 homeless and having that support of people in the entertainment 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:32.200 industry and filmmaking world was really helpful. And that's when 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:34.880 Ryder and I started making our short films and we 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:35.960 started really going out. 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:37.720 And I was able to really. 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:42.000 Trace back to that moment when it really helped me, 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.520 you know, to pursue a creative life. And I wouldn't 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:46.560 have done that if I didn't have you guys in 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.799 that supportive community. And I said, okay, well, that's something 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:51.520 I know is going to happen to a lot of 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.120 people that are going to be in that same situation 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.880 at this moment we're in right now, right a few 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.080 months after the fires, and I said, okay, well, I 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:01.839 know I could be there for those people. So I 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:03.599 had some money set aside because I was going to 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:05.200 do a short film that I was going to write 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:07.919 and direct in January. And I was like, I'm going 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:09.839 to hire people who've been affected by the fires to 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:11.960 work on my short film. And I was like, Yeah, 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.680 that's going to feel good. And then I said, Okay, 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.880 that's a better idea than my short film. So I 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:21.239 took that money and I've built out a nonprofit because 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:23.080 I didn't know how to do that, but I hired 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:26.640 nonprofit consultants and they came on and gave me the 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.520 whole path of how to do this. And been getting 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:33.200 volunteers and people jumping on board and donations and building 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:36.240 out the website and learning so much and it's just 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:40.960 been so rewarding and exciting. But the goal is to 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:44.799 raise money to fund We're going for ten short film 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:48.920 projects and these would be by filmmakers or people who 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.760 want to make films who were affected by the fires, 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.120 and we'll be able to give them grants and the 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:57.920 support and then ultimately have a festival showcase in January 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.720 of next year where we could all scream them. And 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.400 so it's all about, you know, reviving the creative spirit 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.640 and coming together as a community and trying to help 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.440 creative people and saying you know that, you know, the 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:12.320 arts really are important for you know, recovery, just as 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:14.600 much as getting a roof over your head, you know, especially, 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:20.200 you know, it's so much about Los Angeles and the world. Yeah, 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:24.240 so that's been my life since then. It's been super 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:27.880 rewarding and amazing and yeah, and it's just a lot, 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:29.440 but it's super super fun. 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:33.320 We hear a lot on the internet the word triggered, 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.840 and it's always it's most of the time said in 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:38.200 a real negative sense. 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.799 Oh were you triggered? Or I'm really feeling triggered. 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.960 This is such a perfect example, like, there's no way 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.400 those fires or every major fire we have in Los 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.800 Angeles or in California isn't triggering for you who lost 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:57.480 everything fifteen years ago. And to take that triggering and 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:01.400 go ooh, it's bringing me right back to my experience. 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:05.280 How can I use this experience that you know, only 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:07.440 a certain number of people know what it feels like 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:11.400 to make a difference for every person in our community 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:15.040 moving forward, and what you've done with it is just 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:19.080 so incredible, Like it's so inspiring. 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:22.600 How can how can everybody help?
