I think movies are good for getting into dream states or exploring weird alternate states of thinking.

I grew up in L.A., and I don't think I've seen L.A. onscreen in a way that felt real to me. There are definitely movies, but they are few and far between.

I want to see as many movies as I can and I covet a lot of weird influential movies.

The thing is there have been American movies that are similar to Solaris, like Alien had a lot of things that are similar, although it's also got the horror element.

I find playwriting really painful. I love it, or I wouldn't do it, but I don't love the theater as much as I love movies.
