My interview today wasthis wondrous circle. Circuitous around. And around. Einstein. Time. A FerrisWheel. Relativity. Relatability. Matt is a fascinating guest. A PhD from Rutgers(Media Studies) MFA also. His career spans network TV (20/20), documentaries,non-fiction production, and now narrative sci-fi filmmaking. And a long-timeprofessor at William Patterson. And a born Hoosier. His short film, ‘The LastMusician.’ Did I ever love the premise. It’s not singing in the rain. It’simaginative, futuristic, necessary, a bit scary, and, above all, timely(hugely). Matt’s films make you “think, feel, do.” He’s brilliant, eloquent,consummate, humorous, and passionate. A never-ending conversationalist. Here’s my journalistic departure from standard reporting.There’s so much I gleaned and absorbed from Matt. Best to insert words andideas from my 210 inspired minutes with Matt Crick. Why? To encourage aviewing. You’ll know what to do with your thumbs up. Algorithms will love you. What makes a good film? Script. Actors. Direction. Positive camaraderie. AD.Production design. Be open. Follow passion. Know Yourself. Communicate Vision.Preparation. He’d like to spend a day with Gandhi. Matt talked aboutKubrick Calm. Yes, Stanley Kubrick. Apeaceful long shot. Made me think (He did throughout this interview) of‘Strangelove.’ Ample AI discussion. Backto his short film.
