“Because when you're like with Michael, and on projects like that, you got all these resources, huge budgets, huge, huge stuff.”

“The time with Michael was almost like just like an appetizer, like an amused bouche. And then the real work came of like building something from scratch again, building from the bottom. But that taught me how to be tough and it taught me how to shoot and it taught me how to be scrappy. And most of all, and the thing that ended up paying off the most when I got down the road with Tony and stuff is I learned how to make something out of nothing.”

“My friend, the same friend that I shot the documentary on the football team with, my buddy Todd Lubin, reached out to me and there's a number of times in my career and in my life that Todd reached out to me and was like, hey, you should come do this. A couple of life-changing kind of moments. So he reached out, he hooked me up with these gigs. You know, they can not much money. I didn't have a license. I lived in New Hampshire. Most of the jobs were in New York. I'd have to like take a bus to South Station in Boston with all my equipment and all these huge pelican cases, get on the train, go down to New York, shoot these things, get back. I was hustling, you know, and eventually rebuilt it. And you know how it is. Like, you get better and better projects. You get kind of known for things. You meet people. Your network starts to spread.”

“It's a good thing to paint because West Virginia comes full circle in this story of my life too. West Virginia still has a place in my heart. I'll elaborate on that in a bit. So yeah, one day I'm flying around in Gulf Stream and hanging out with Nelson Mandela. And the next day, I'm like in my parents' basement back in the middle of winter in New Hampshire. Broke ass bombed out alcoholic. Like, dude, you got to put your life back together. And so I ended up teaching a film class for my dad who ran summer programs at this private school that I grew up at and saved up enough money to buy a camera. And then I just started shooting from the very bottom, you know, and I just started again.”

“Yeah, in the end, I got pretty deep on just alcohol and partying and a lot of stuff got to like caught a DUI, broke up with my girlfriend at the time, stopped working for Michael. Things just kind of fell apart a little bit. But I always had the camera. So I ended up picture this. I'm like one day I'm flying around in Gulf Stream 5s with Michael and Will Smith. And like I had dinner at fucking Nelson Mandela's house in Mozambique. Like picture that. I'm 24 hanging out with Nelson Mandela.”

“Yeah, that was the film. The film was Ali. Yep. And so I had filmed all this stuff. They ended up using a lot of it. The producer came up to me and she said, hey, listen, like we get a lot of footage from assistants. And it always sucks. Your footage is actually really good. We use quite a bit of it. You might think about this as this is a skill you have. At the same time, like in Hollywood, there's a lot.”

“Exactly. I ended up filming quite a bit of that, and they were producing a documentary for HBO on the making of the film. And it ended up being that like 50% of the footage and the end result was mine.”

“My career took a very weird kind of turn. I finished working for Michael. What I had done while I was with him, they handed me a video camera because they're like, well, you're here for everything. So let's keep the camera on you, film what you can”

“Was like, I have a foothold here, and I am going to live and breathe whatever I can that this man lives and breathes just because I'm here and I'm 24 and I got just like full of energy. I do think that they probably thought I was like a speed freak though. I think they probably thought I was like either a cokehead or a speed freak. I wasn't.”

“Like, that's the difference. That's the difference, you know, with someone like him. But he handed me this, like he would keep these running notes that were thousands of pages long, these huge volumes, huge three-ring binders where He had thousands of pages of creative notes that he had made on every scene, and he handed me responsibility for all that stuff. And so a lot of what I was doing was a look into someone who's operating at the very highest level, who's arguably a master of their craft. It was incredible. I mean, it was amazing. And I was next to him for every second of it.”

“Amazing, and he handed me also like being his assistant, he handed me responsibility over all the creative materials. So listen, Michaels, he's a very, very difficult person. He can be cruel. He can be incredibly cold to people who have been loyal to him for years. There's a lot of ugliness there and a lot of stuff that eventually I was like, you know, I don't want to be that kind of person. And I still feel that way. But I can't but respect him to the highest degree as a creative. I've never seen someone with so much creative energy and so much drive. It was like all of a sudden just being in a different universe, you know, where like I at 24 was using every ounce of energy I had to keep up with this man who is 60.”

“And I'm like, oh, he went to a concert. He's like, oh, he went to a concert? I was like, yeah, yep, I'm here. And he's like, yeah, but you don't know any of the stuff. He's like, I need this quote from the David Remnick book. And I was like, actually, I read that book and I know right where that quote is. And I'll get it for you right now. And I went down and made the photocopy. And like, I don't know, a week later, that kid's moving his shit out of his desk and I'm moving into his desk. And it was that cold. And I went on this incredible rod with him.”

“Just left the fox in the hen house, man. Like you closed the door behind you. Like, I am going to fucking destroy you. So I stayed and I stayed and eventually Michael comes out and he's like, he's like, where's, you know, so-and-so.”

“Don't tell anyone, but I have no idea how to use this camera. I'm like, oh, okay, cool. They're like dial it in for him. I'm like, you're all good, man. Just ask me. By doing that stuff and reading the research material, eventually Michael kind of pulled me more and more in. And then I remember one night, I still feel kind of bad for this kid, but it was such a bad call. He had this assistant and the assistant went to a Roger Waters concert and left me alone with him. I'm like, dude, you just.”

“All this stuff. And he's like, okay, come down to the gym where we're training with Will, and you can help me set these things up and stuff like that. So I would basically just set these cameras up and hand them to Michael. And every once in a while, lift my head up and be like, oh my God, I'm standing in a room with Will Smith and Michael Mann. And, you know, and then eventually Ali came by hanging out with Ali and then Darius Kanji, who's a very famous cinematographer, was there. And I remember one day Darius Kanji, who was like, these cats are like my idols when I'm in film school, right? Darius Kanji shot Delicatessen. Darius Kanji came up to me. He's like, he's like, hey, man, he's like.”

“And I did. And at the end of the three days, they're like, yeah, we got a film coming up. Do you want to be a PA on the film? I was like, of course. So I took that. Where it really turned though is that Michael had an assistant and I was there and I was like the runner and the office lackey. But I knew stuff because of Emerson. Like I said, I knew how to run cameras. I knew how to run systems. I knew how to do a lot of stuff. And I had a solid base of understanding filmmaking. And the other thing I did is when I got in there, I asked for the research material. And they're like, hey, read this book, read this book, read this book. And I just went and read them all. And so I knew how to do all these things. And eventually I'd start, you know, I started setting up the rentals on cameras and stuff like that, right? And then, you know, their video cameras, none of these cats know how to use them. These older filmmaking cats, like Michael and his generation, they didn't look at a video camera. It's like, they had no idea what to do with these things, you know. And so he's like, oh, you know how to run it? And I'm like, yeah, I know how to run.”

“I got a call from someone who I had known at Emerson and it just said, hey, they need a temporary office assistant for three days. I can't take the job. It's Michael Mann's office. Do you want to do it? I was like, are you fucking kidding? Yeah. Absolutely. And I got in that office and look back now and I'm like, they must have all thought I was just totally out of my mind. Like I didn't leave. I left at like 11.30 at night or something. I stayed. I like stayed after. I like cleaned the whole copy room. I like organized the fridge. I just did anything I could. I was like, I'm doing anything I can to stay in this office”

“So that's Michael. So Michael did Last of the Mohicans It's a good film. I like the rest of the film, but from the moment that they leave the village where they burn the, I forget his name, the British soldier. And he chases them up into the hills. It's perfect. It's perfect. He doesn't miss a beat in that.”

“Corsese, he directed probably the greatest American film ever made, which is Goodfellas, I believe. I think it was Tony's favorite as well. I agree with him. It's a masterpiece. But Michael, I really, I loved Insider and I loved Heat. I think that the last sequence in Last of the Mohicans is one of the masterpieces of filmmaking. It's technically perfect.”

“Terrence Malik is thin red line. He just has a way of making these incredibly articulate films that almost feel like visual poems, you know. But a very powerful director and someone who was able to really exercise the medium of film and use all of the tools and spend like anyone who works in the industry will know it's like how hard it is to get like 45 seconds of silence into a film or into a television show or into everything where you can just absorb the natural space or absorb the characters going through something or it's like you constantly need to be packing action and you constantly need to be packing information. You constantly need to be feeding and feeding and feeding, right? And what I really loved about his films, like if you watch his films, he has these beautiful little detailed nuanced moments within the film that just hard to achieve. I mean, Martin Scarcia is Martin.”

“The studio, it's more kind of decision by committee now, you know, you have very powerful studio heads, you have very powerful executive producers within the studios. And so I think that there's fewer and fewer of the directors. I mean, I guess Paul Thomas Anderson would be like a modern kind of example of this, who can go in and say, this is the film, this is the story, this is my vision, this is what we're going to execute and you're not going to fucking touch it. And that's rare. And Michael had that.”

“To be in charge of something that is so big and so sweeping and epic. And I worked with Michael on the making of Ali. So we were, what, I think, 130, something like that was the end budget. But we had nights. I mean, we had a night in Mozambique where we had 15,000 extras. And think about that. And he's at the helm of all that. And he has to hold all that together. And he has to, you know, keep focus, keep straight, keep drive, keep the actors in there, keep the crew in there. You know, all of that stuff, that takes a truly unique person, usually takes a total fucking tyrant. as well. And he would fall into that category also. But those kind of directors are kind of less and less because the studios have quite a bit of control now. And so”

“Little bit of all of those things. I think what he did really well and was really smart about was he always had the talent on his side. Actors felt safe with him. His track record was obviously just incredible. I mean, you think of a film like The Insider and what he was able to do with Russell Crowe, who's obviously a brilliant actor. But look at that character in the insider and look at what Michael was able to build. He had the trust of actors. And when you have the trust of actors at that level and the actors are like people like Russell Crow and Will Smith and Tom Cruise, you have a lot of power. So that's one thing he had. But he also, and I think this is like a thing that people don't understand a lot about directing. It takes a level of discipline and drive and energy and fortitude that is not within the scope of normal human.”

“Oh, like Sam Pack and Pa is like a very famous director. Think of the wild bunch, you know, very like these very, very powerful, huge personalities that can drive a set with 300 extras and explosions and massive camera teams. And think of the big 70s kind of films, you know, in these directors who were so just so big and so powerful that they could drive all of that. Well, Michael was that, and even at the time that I started working for him, which was in 2000, you know. And so he still had the power to go against the studio.”

“I think the most important thing to note about who he is and who he was then is Michael was one of the few truly powerful directors that was left in Hollywood. There's obviously a few now, but the age of the Pekkenpaws, you know, these incredibly powerful juggernaut directors has kind of like come and gone”

“And that's a rarity. You know, a lot of film school is just theory. This was like hands on. And that allowed me to go out and like actually start doing stuff. And little did I know that my particular little niche of this industry in the end would require me to know how to do everything. I learned that. I guess I kind of believe in that. I believe in that aspect of, you know, going to college. And I know there's a lot of people out there that think you don't have to go to film school. And I guess I would kind of agree with that too. I think that you can go out and you work in the industry and you'll learn what you need to learn.”

“I had jaws. I love that movie. And I had jaws on VHS tape. I recorded it off of HBO, right? I watched that movie so many times. I broke the VHS tape. So there was like a love for the art form before I even knew what the art form was. And I wanted to chase that. So I went to Emerson. It's the only school in the end. It was the only school that I actually sent an application to. They denied me. And I got in my car because I lived in New Hampshire. I got in my car and I drove down to Boston and went to the admissions department. I was like, why'd you deny me? And they put me in a room and I talked to someone. And at the end of the meeting, she left and she came back in and she said, cool. Do you want to come to Emerson? Come to Emerson.”

“Deliverance, like, I don't know. Some high school students maybe, some high school students, maybe not. But that introduced me to film and introduced me to the idea that film could be more than just the art form or the money making enterprise, that it could be like actually a way to talk about issues that are going on in our culture, a way to reflect on ourselves as humans. And I wanted to be a part of telling those stories. So I just pivoted from ceramics, which is the original goal to filmmaking.”

“But at some point, I started doing math and ceramics, you know, listen, no shade on ceramics. And like you climbed to the top of that ladder like any other ladder, you can make a lot of money, but it's not exactly like the best life plan, I guess. And the other thing is I wanted to do something. I wanted to be in a medium that had power, that had power to tell stories to inform people I grew up with two kind of bleeding heart liberal teachers in my family. And my mom was a writing teacher and she focused on teaching writing through using film. So she was using like Pink Floyd the Wall, Deliverance, Apocalypse Now, you know, do the right thing.”

“I mean, I think the story for me is like a lot of people in creative fields. It goes back far beyond college to my initial introduction to school and education and kind of figuring out my brain style didn't really jive with what people were asking me to do. So academic portion of school was always really difficult for me. And then I found art. And so art was always a huge part of my life. That goes up through high school. I was actually originally I was going to do ceramics. I was like headed to Alfred University and I wanted to do ceramics and did that a lot in high school and actually had like pieces in the National Art Show and stuff. So I'm still pretty proud of that.”
