Cooper Raiff: SXSW Winner, Have Something to Say

What this episode covers

While most veteran writer/director/actors wish they could just get in to SXSW, Cooper Raiff won the whole thing in 2020 at the ripe young age of 23. His indie feature, S#!%house, was so good that I sought out his email address, stalked him, and got him to agree to sit down for 10,000 NOs. His secret? Not so complex: keep on charging, pivot when you need to, and really have something to say.“All I have that I have going for me is I really want to say something. The things that I'm making movies about, or writing about, it's obviously... it means a lot to me. And I think that if I got caught up in how good something is, or how good something is going to be, I’m just going to feel like I need to go to school for nine years before I start this back up.”It is not the critic who counts. If you’ve been knocked down... get up, dust yourself off, and get back in the arena.
