We want to create movies that enlighten, inspire, capture the sublime and surreal and provoke thought in all those who view our films.
I'd like to meet:
Bill Murray, Wes Anderson, Charlie Kaufman, Michael Gondry, Richard Linklater, Barack Obama, Kurt Vonnegut, Kevin Smith, Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, Kilgore Trout, Chuck Klosterman.
Music:
To begin with- everything. On our combined iTunes, you would find more of a variety of music than you would think possible of teenagers raised in the Backstreet Boys era of a musicless MTV nation.
