Why insist on putting yourself through this reliving of your high school experience?One of the things I say a lot when I was trying to get the film made is “I go home so you don’t have to.” I’ve always been interested in archetypal stories or if there’s a story about one person’s life, it’s meant to be something that resonates.
Personal films, they only work if people can relate, otherwise it’s just narcissism. How many people are out there who are like me?
Who are outsiders? Because one of the things I came to understand by making this film is how the hierarchy and the politics of high school separate us from one another so there’s that sense of “I’m the only one.” It’s kind of like a lost tribe of people that we run away and we don’t necessarily keep up with people.
Why would I want to? Why would I go back there? Even the thought of it makes my skin crawl, so why would I go back there? Part of the reason I made this film was, frankly, to be less lonely, to feel like I wasn’t internalizing it as my fault.
