Zach, you ready for this?
Uh, yeah. Ready.
Is it all right if I come in?
Perfectly fine, Danny.
I'll start where we left off.
Your film, Judas Kiss, tackles some pretty intense issues.
Why such a controversial subject in the short form?
Well, sir, I kind of wanted Judas Kiss to be more of a...
great knockout punch rather than an entire boxing match.
That is a wonderful metaphor, Danny.
Thank you, sir.
Winning this competition...
could open a lot of doors for you, Danny.
What do you plan to do with those opportunities?
Get rich.
So, um, where do you see yourself, say,
in 1 5 years from now?
Famous, I hope.
I'd work for it, obviously.
Few more shorts before I graduate,
then my first feature.
Actually, I have an idea for it right now.
It's about love in a parallel universe...
where everyone's turned around.
Turned around?
Yeah, like an all-gay universe...
where straight people are the minority.
Gay, right.
Of course.
Is that a problem?
No, no. Not for me, it isn't.
So, in 1 5 years...
Beach house in L.A. ,
penthouse in New York,
maybe one or two movies a year.
Fly to places like Italy or Spain.
What's so funny?
Nothing.
Spain is--
Spain's awesome, man.
So...
What happens when everything doesn't go...
according to your plan?
Well, I can work it.
Judas Kiss proves what I can do.
Yeah, but there's lots of great films in this festival.
What if it doesn't win?
Or what if you hit massive writer's block one day?
Excuse me?
What if you don't become rich?
No fancy houses.
You're just a part-time waiter...
who shoots wedding videos on the weekends...
for some millionaire's spoiled daughter?
Are you supposed to be asking me questions like this?
You shouldn't be afraid of questions, Danny.
I'm not afraid.
All I'm asking is,
what happens when you don't get what you want?
Look, I'm just focusing on my goals right now.
It sounds to me like you're focusing more on the rewards.
What if you don't have what it takes?
Okay, great.
Ralph, your turn.
Um, Danny, let's talk about the lighting schemes you chose...
and how you used light to heighten the dramatic tension...
between the father and the son.
