QUOTES:
[on how he ranks in musical skills in Flight of the Conchords (2007)] Bret’s a little better than me and I’m a little worse than Bret.
What do I think of L.A.? It’s boring, with some amazing nuggets. Like there are some parts of it that are great, but by and large I think it’s quite boring.
Well, I grew up in the ’80s, which was a really massive time for sci-fi.
In real life I’m very low-key. A wallflower. One of the reasons I went into comedy and acting was that I was sick of being shy.
Born January 10, 1989 · New York City, New York, USA
QUOTES:
I was like little-miss wannabe punk-rocker; I would go home and secretly listen to Pink, and dance around, like, ‘Ugh, she understands me so well!’
I was traumatized by the cartoon version of ‘The Hobbit.’ It’s not supposed to be scary, I don’t think, but literally I think that’s the most scared I’ve ever been.
I get a little nauseous and disoriented watching 3D, but as a kid I loved it and I was really into it, so if a movie can be in 3D, then why not?
You grow up loving movies, and your first instinct is you want to be an actor, because those are the people you see in the movies. But when you actually become an actor, you’re like, ‘Oh, wait, this is actually only a small portion of the storytelling. If I want to really tell a story, I’d want to be a director.’

QUOTES:
You know, I never really paid attention to sports, which, coming from the mecca of football in Texas, is kind of odd. I played sports, but I was nerdy. Having a single mother, the pressure was on me to get good grades and a scholarship and go to college.
When I was in my early 20s, I looked towards exterior things to make me feel sexy – guys, clothes, shoes, etc. Now it’s all about how I feel internally.
Right when I finish a workout, I feel pretty sexy. Even though I’m sweaty and I don’t smell like a rose, I feel strong. It does a lot for me mentally and physically.
I know it sounds weird, but my definition of ‘sexy’ has changed as I’ve gotten older. And being smart and informed makes me feel sexier than any outfit.

THE GENDER SYMPHONY, 14min,. USA Directed by Phoebe Hemenway Legere Filmed on the streets of Venice, the Gender Symphony follows the hapless servant Columbina as she toils under the tyrannical Dr. Pants—an alchemist obsessed with unlocking the secrets of wealth. When Dr. Pants stumbles upon an ancient incantation promising limitless riches, the spell summons not gold, but a powerful witch determined to teach him a lesson in humility.
Velipadu: The Revelation, 25min., India Directed by Jijo Jessy Kuriakose Against the sensory landscape of central Kerala Johnny, a soon-to-be priest must navigate his way out of his dissonant life towards self-discovery. The film reanimates Malayali gay desire through an expressionistic use of Christian music, intimate tastes and unabashed touches, while depicting delicate specifics of same-sex fondness. Resisting the popular narratives, the film discusses plural possibilities of romantic relationships. Interspersing semi-autobiography with fiction, Velip?du: “The Revelation” is a bitter-sweet rhapsody that sings of love and faith– both lost and regained like some Miltonic Paradise.
THREEDOM, 7min,. USA Directed by Garrett Hopkins A young couple finds themselves lost in their own relationship. Brought to frustration and confusion one of them shares the idea of an open relationship. Reluctantly the partner agrees and actually travels a new road learning about themself. Perhaps they just needed to find each other, in someone new.
FORever feroshUS, 13min,. USA Directed by Naya Ryan Rashad Shae, a man murdered in a homophobic attack, awakens in a mysterious room where the entirety of his life is projected across a series of screens. As he journeys through these memories, he must reach the final screen to uncover the truth about his death. But to get there, he must make peace with the life he’s lived.
TRANS, 15min., USA Directed by Alan Joseph Chriest A precious life is born. Innocent and beautiful. Assigned at birth a gender based on their anatomy. But the phrase born a boy or girl may not be correct.
