Why don't you just tell them, 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:01.800 like you know, how you just start directing and kind 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:02.880 of you know, ledg. 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:03.640 You to where you are today. 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:06.920 Yeah, I mean for me, it sort of happened by accident, 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:08.600 because you know, I grew up in the neighborhood where 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:12.120 we didn't dream about being filmmakers. And my mother worked 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:13.800 that night, my father worked in the day, and there 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.640 was a gap of time where nobody was home. So 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:19.400 my mother bought a camera and she said, while she's 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:21.680 on her way from work and my father's on the 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:24.040 way to work, nobody could go into the streets. And 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:28.720 we were like thirteen twelve, eleven ten, and we started 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:31.960 making movies in those two hours. Wow, as my parents 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:34.680 are coming home, and my father actually worked in the 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:38.680 mainenance department in CBS, so you know, my father came 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.520 from the Dominican Republic. My mom as well, didn't speak 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:43.400 the language, and my father got a maintenance job, but 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:45.560 he would get things and he would bring home, like 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:49.240 soundtracks from like movies and TV shows, and we started 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:52.640 using that in these little urban movies we were doing. 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:56.400 And my brother Ulysses personality is much bigger than mine, 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:58.600 so he always wanted to start in the movies, so 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:02.680 it forced me to have to. So every movie had 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:06.640 like his title, like Julie on Elm Street Super and 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:09.840 then you know, somebody had to manage the camera. So 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:11.560 you know, I was always like the you know, the 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:13.760 guy that got killed quick. But I learned how to. 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:17.479 You know, we started making movies young, and. 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.000 That how you transition into the know. 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:22.440 We used to watch this video program called Video Music 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:24.960 Box and it was like the first channel that showed 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:28.080 music videos. And one day they made an announcement that 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:30.520 they were casting a film. Now, all we had was 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:33.000 our ghetto acting that we did at the house, so 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:34.600 we thought it was a good idea. Maybe there'll be 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:36.280 a lot of hot girls there. So we went to 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:40.360 the casting and a lot of Latin kids didn't show 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:42.960 up to the casting, so the casting director was like, look, 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:45.840 we're looking for kids your type. And the movie was 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:50.720 called Juice with Tupac Shakur, so we were part of 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:53.360 the Latin gang that had beef for Tupac in the movie. 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:55.280 And that was the first time I really stepped on 0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:55.960 the movie set. 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:56.680 I didn't even know. 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:59.480 Yeah, it was me and my brother Vincent Aureska played 0:15:59.520 --> 0:15:59.960 like the lead. 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:03.280 I loved Eddie because a place. 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:05.600 Poker and that I signed up any videws. I loved 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:08.440 it in together. And after that, I saw like a 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:10.400 bunch of people that you know, I thought were cool, 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:13.480 that looked like me working on film, and I was like, wow, 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:16.040 you know, some people can really do this. And when 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:17.720 I met Vinnie and those guys, they all went to 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:20.360 the school of Performing arts. Like in my neighborhood, I 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:22.680 grew up with Jamaica queens. Like people weren't going to 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.960 the performing arts school. So I was like, wow, this, 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:28.680 you know this, you know, I didn't know anybody like that. 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:30.720 And then I, you know, switched my major in college 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:33.440 and started studying theater and then you know, directing and 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:35.800 shot a short film my junior year in school, and 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:38.560 because the people I met on Juice, they offered me 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:41.480 an internship on the Columbia Pictures project. In the third 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:43.280 year in college, I dropped out to do that and 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:44.400 then I never stopped working. 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:48.960 Wow, okay, what was the first because was it music videos, 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:50.000 TV or features? 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:50.840 When you first started? 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:53.040 When I worked on features? So you know, so I 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:56.360 interned and I did everything. I ran around, getting people coffee, 0:16:56.400 --> 0:17:00.280 picking up the direct everything that that I needed to 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.520 to sort of and be on set and soak up 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:05.880 a bunch of things. And then the music video thing 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:09.440 started to happen in New York, and because we interned 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:12.320 on the film, we would get jobs and opportunities. And 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:14.560 now look, Tupac, who was a good friend of minees 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:15.400
