Costumes say a lot about a character. When it came to 'Palo Alto,' it was important for me that the kids didn't look perfect. In most teen movies today, all of the clothes are expensive. I remember wearing a lot of dirty vintage clothes.
I remember having crushes and longings, but there were all these missed opportunities or things that seemed like such a big deal, but you really don't understand what the other person is going through.
Visually, I love the setting of suburbia.
I like the camera to be still and not very shaky and have everything happen within the frame.
I've only ever taken a playwriting class, but I like creative writing and writing screenplays.
I like the pharmacy makeup. I always get stuck in that aisle... I've always liked looking at it.
