Hey Ever,

It is a magical place and I love it dearly... though it might be hard for people to understand after reading the book and seeing all the nightmares one has to endure. But despite all the difficulties, I'm always eager to get to it again.

I'm a fan of well-done long takes myself. In fact, I have a script that I sold that currently getting some traction (including some A-list actor interest). Probably only a small chance I'll get to direct, but I have the opening scene planned out (at least in my mind) as a single long take. Actually, in this case it's necessary for reasons I won't get into (as I don't want to spoil anything).

But I'll always reflect on Goodfellas, Touch of Evil and Old Boy as among my favorites. Maybe some day I'll give the world a great one for future generations to talk about film school!!
