The trend now is to shoot in Canada because it's cheaper, and they don't care what the location is.
- Prison
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
With Animal Factory you'd think that because it's mostly interiors, you could shoot it anywhere. So we shot this in Philadelphia, and we had the cooperation of the prison system.

They're not supposed to show prison films in prison. Especially ones that are about escaping.

I don't tend to think of these characters as losers. I like the struggles that people have, people who are feeling like they don't fit into society, because I still sort of feel that way.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I could never have imagined the films I've done and the people I've worked with when I was starting out; I certainly did not have a career path.
- Me

- Nov 07, 2020
I was really young, just playing with puppets a lot and doing all the voices and acting it out - normal kid stuff. But then I'd hear my mother talking about it to her relatives, marveling at it as if it was something unique. And it made me realize, 'Oh, maybe I do have a talent for something.'
- Joy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The thrill of performing - that's something that hasn't changed for me. That simultaneous joy of creating something and sharing it with an audience - it's the same now as it was then, when it was just my cousins' birthday party.
