Make your Tribe
“When you surround yourself with creatives who are just as passionate as you, people who are eager to show up in the morning and willing to have their visions improved upon by the rest of the community, your success or journey will be that much more gratifying. It’s important to dissolve your ego and trust that these people are going to bring in ideas and techniques that are different than yours, which can only make your product that much more exciting.”

GOGGLES
“Goggles, a science-fiction film, is a lighthearted comedy (think Groundhog Day meets Black Mirror) with a dark ending which leaves viewers with striking visuals, all built on the premise of American immigration. Despite the film's dark subject matter, the look of the film is very clean, polished, and bright. During the Q&A, director Ben Hirschhorn - a young actor for whom this film is his directorial debut - noted that he chose to explore immigration through a saturated sci-fi aesthetic in order to reflect the sanitized portrayal to which he believes most Americans subscribe.”
