The Peanut Butter Falcon: How to Make an Indie Hit (with Directors Michael Schwartz & Tyler Nilson)
Q: What was your biggest lesson, would you say, about directing on set?
The looseness of being on set and to be open in the moment to something being better than what you thought from the beginning.
The Peanut Butter Falcon: How to Make an Indie Hit (with Directors Michael Schwartz & Tyler Nilson)

If you keep waiting for the right camera or the right lenses or the right financier, it can take a long time until eventually it just doesn't happen at all.
Andrew Patterson: Keep Believing In It
Q: When you finally finish the film, you submitted to film festivals, what caliber would you say?
I submitted to the top 20 festivals worldwide, got rejected by 18 before being accepted by Slamdance.

To stay calm and cool amidst the chaos and challenges that arise during filming.
Andrew Patterson: Keep Believing In It
Q: How was the script written when you decided to sit down and actually start?
