“No matter how fast you’re moving, you’re always two hours behind.”
Video and Film-maker Justin Staggs talks about how many years of long hours spent shooting and editing videos prepared him for the long-term sleep deprivation of parenthood. He talks about using the family camcorder as a child and remaking his own versions of Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies. And he talks about moving towards graphic design initially because it seemed more realistic than filmmaking.
“My ultimate dream would be if you could step into a time void and spend the next 7 years making a movie and step back out like no time has passed.”
