I ❤️ working with kids.
I’ve directed kids all over the world, relying on my body language, infectious smile, and translators to bond with them. 👧 I’m really proud of the “Back to School” campaign that I remotely directed over Covid. It was a trip working with small kids over Zoom, getting them to spill the beans on how much their parents sucked at homeschooling. 🐣 My favorite film is Rob Reiner’s “Stand By Me,” and my short film “Salad Days,” about two kids trying to have the best first day of summer vacation, is my ode to it. 🖼️ The fab artwork I’m holding? Hephzibah Akinmowo, who I met shooting a cooking show with her family, made this for me and I love it.
