So every movie had 349 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 5: like his title, like Julie on Elm Street Super and 350 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 5: then you know, somebody had to manage the camera. So 351 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 5: you know, I was always like the you know, the 352 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 5: guy that got killed quick. But I learned how to. 353 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,479 Speaker 5: You know, we started making movies young, and. 354 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 3: That how you transition into the know. 355 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 5: We used to watch this video program called Video Music 356 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 5: Box and it was like the first channel that showed 357 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 5: music videos. And one day they made an announcement that 358 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 5: they were casting a film. Now, all we had was 359 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 5: our ghetto acting that we did at the house, so 360 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 5: we thought it was a good idea. Maybe there'll be 361 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 5: a lot of hot girls there. So we went to 362 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 5: the casting and a lot of Latin kids didn't show 363 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 5: up to the casting, so the casting director was like, look, 364 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 5: we're looking for kids your type. And the movie was 365 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 5: called Juice with Tupac Shakur, so we were part of 366 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 5: the Latin gang that had beef for Tupac in the movie. 367 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 5: And that was the first time I really stepped on 368 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 5: the movie set. 369 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 3: I didn't even know. 370 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, it was me and my brother Vincent Aureska played 371 00:15:59,520 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 5: like the lead. 372 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 3: I loved Eddie because a place. 373 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 5: Poker and that I signed up any videws. I loved 374 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 5: it in together. And after that, I saw like a 375 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 5: bunch of people that you know, I thought were cool, 376 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 5: that looked like me working on film, and I was like, wow, 377 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 5: you know, some people can really do this. And when 378 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 5: I met Vinnie and those guys, they all went to 379 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 5: the school of Performing arts. Like in my neighborhood, I 380 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 5: grew up with Jamaica queens. Like people weren't going to 381 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 5: the performing arts school. So I was like, wow, this, 382 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 5: you know this, you know, I didn't know anybody like that. 383 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 5: And then I, you know, switched my major in college 384 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 5: and started studying theater and then you know, directing and 385 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 5: shot a short film my junior year in school, and 386 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 5: because the people I met on Juice, they offered me 387 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 5: an internship on the Columbia Pictures project. In the third 388 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 5: year in college, I dropped out to do that and 389 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 5: then I never stopped working. 390 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 4: Wow, okay, what was the first because was it music videos, 391 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 4: TV or features? 392 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 3: When you first started? 393 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 5: When I worked on features? So you know, so I 394 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 5: interned and I did everything. I ran around, getting people coffee, 395 00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 5: picking up the direct everything that that I needed to 396 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 5: to sort of and be on set and soak up 397 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 5: a bunch of things. And then the music video thing 398 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 5: started to happen in New York, and because we interned 399 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 5: on the film, we would get jobs and opportunities. And 400 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 5: now look, Tupac, who was a good friend of minees 401 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 5: became a huge star. 402 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 3: Oh Tupac was your friend. 403 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, so I still run around with Pac and you know, 404 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 5: and then Tretch from Naughty by Nature was one of 405 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 5: his best friends, and he's an extra and Juice too. 406 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 5: He was part of the gang with us. So all 407 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 5: of a sudden, by the time Juice is getting ready 408 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 5: to come out, you know, Pok didn't have no music out. 409 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 5: He had one little song when we did Juice, so 410 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 5: by the time the movie came out a year later, 411 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 5: all of a sudden, you know, this kid becomes the 412 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 5: biggest artist in the world. And then Tretch invites us 413 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 5: to a music video. Never heard the kid rap, and 414 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 5: we show up to his music video as a song 415 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 5: called opp Then and this kid becomes like gigantic, and 416 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 5: then you know, now I'm like seeing the music video 417 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 5: thing happen. I'm around it. It's like, you know, an 418 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 5: incredible experience, is surreal, you know, wow. And I met 419 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 5: some directors along the way, and we started getting working 420 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 5: behind the scenes on some music videos and. 421 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 3: Who gives you your first break. 422 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 5: What I didn't though, is I didn't know that some 423 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 5: directors didn't write their concepts. So I was around this 424 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 5: one director and I heard her complaining that Puffy didn't 425 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 5: like the concept from Hype Williams or this director, Dan 426 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 5: Marteau and a bunch of people, and I saw that 427 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 5: when I heard the conversation, I knew what Puffy probably meant. 428 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 5: So you know, I made a comment. I was like, 429 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,199 Speaker 5: I think I know what he wants. And then she 430 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 5: was like, oh, you're so smart. When did you write 431 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 5: the concept? So I did and she got the job. 432 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 5: So then she was like, Okay, maybe he does know 433 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 5: what's going on. So for the next couple of years, 434 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 5: I was behind a lot of concepts and music videos, 435 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 5: so everybody knew me as a creative guy, and even 436 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 5: artists will send me their songs and I would write 437 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 5: the concept I just didn't get credit for doing it. 438 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 5: I would get five hundred bucks and the directors. These 439 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 5: were million dollar videos. So at some point I was like, 440 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 5: the math didn't that up. I was like, and the 441 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 5: one director I worked with it she told me, she goes, look, man, 442 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 5: you write great ideas, but you don't write them well, 443 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 5: like you need to learn how to write the treatments. 444 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 5: And then she showed me a bunch of better creatives 445 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 5: and I learned how to write the treatments better. And 446 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,639 Speaker 5: then I sort of took off in that space. And 447 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 5: then there was a Chris Robinson who was a young 448 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 5: black director coming out as one of those bags. He 449 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 5: was coming up and his reps found out that I 450 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 5: was writing for Dan Martell, and they said, hey, why 451 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 5: don't you start being on Chris's team? And when I 452 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,719 Speaker 5: met Chris, he was doing one hundred and fifty thousand videos, 453 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 5: and we used to sit in a room together and 454 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 5: just christ yeah yeah, and then we just his career 455 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 5: started taking off. I was part of that wave. Chris 456 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 5: showed me a lot. I was part of his creative team, 457 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:34,640 Speaker 5: and then ultimately he signed me. 458 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 3: As a director, and that's how it happened. That's how it happened. 459 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 3: What's the first video you do? 460 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 2: Well? 461 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 5: I started doing some small videos in Canada. First, these 462 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 5: Canadian artists. Canada gives you like free money to make videos. 463 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 3: Budgets were good. 464 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 5: No, no, no, they weren't good. They were like ten grand. 465 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 5: But you know, they would get the money for free, 466 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,199 Speaker 5: like they would get these grants from the government. So 467 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 5: these kids would make me write these treatments for them 468 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 5: because they knew I wrote treatments, But then nobody understood 469 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 5: them because they were like Wu tang idea is. But 470 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 5: Canada was not hard then, so they were like, whoa, no, 471 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 5: but it's more urban now. You know, I'm not knocking Canada. 472 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: You know that's pretty hard. 473 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 5: But you know, back then, the you know, I was 474 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,439 Speaker 5: writing stuff that felt like Wu tangle mob deep and 475 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 5: some of the directors there didn't understand it at the time. 476 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 5: So the kids were like, hey, why don't you direct it? 477 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 5: And that sort of becan how it became. And then 478 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 5: you know, I did a ten thousand dollars video that 479 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 5: got nominated for Much Music Video of the Year. 480 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 3: Come on. 481 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 5: And then after that huge and after that, I was 482 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 5: because I'm king hot in Canada.

I know 637 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 3: you do videos, I know you produce them. 638 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know for me, for me being Dominican, it 639 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 5: was always part of my culture, you know. And when 640 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 5: I started doing music videos, I used to complain all 641 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 5: the time because the Land videos, I felt were just 642 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 5: looked weak and they look cheap, you know, and it 643 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 5: used to bother me that they didn't look like the 644 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 5: general market videos. And then when MTV did me TRL, 645 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 5: which was their Spanish version, they started putting like en 646 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 5: sync videos next to like countdowns with Aventuda or the 647 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,160 Speaker 5: Land groups. We see the indel against like a Destiny's child, 648 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 5: and then you're like, whoa. You can see sort of 649 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 5: the difference in the level of the videos. So I 650 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 5: was telling a friend of minees complaining, and he said, 651 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 5: you know what, you can continue to complain and you 652 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 5: could be part of the change, but you got to 653 00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 5: make that decision. So I was like, man, I'm about 654 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 5: to take a Picatla my mother and Mercedes in a 655 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 5: bowl on it and I inside my rims with twenty six. 656 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 5: I was killing the gang. I was like, time to 657 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 5: bring the chains back. But I did. I. You know, 658 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 5: I took a step back and I said, you know what, 659 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 5: I felt that they weren't getting the respect and and 660 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 5: the sort of the at least the visuals that they 661 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 5: deserved because they were superstars in my eyes. So I 662 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 5: sort of ingratiated myself in the Latin culture.
