This was your first film.

I remember feeling nervous, like Oh, no.

The Sunday of the weekend my movie is coming out is when all film lovers will be home.

Film Get Out, Los Angeles, USA - 9 Feb 2017

That being said, just getting the movie finished and liking the movie itself was the big exhale.

Nothing really beats that.

Its something that the movie kind of brought to the lexicon, like you said.

I feel like now I can commit to my instincts and work faster.

Why faster?I wroteGet Outnot necessarily as something to get made.

So there was no deadline that I was giving myself.

Now that I know that this kind of movie works, I can give it more purpose.

Hows the next movie coming?Im writing it now, an idea Ive had for a while.

Im pretty obsessed with this social thriller/horror genre.

Which part of yourGet Outexperience do you most want to replicate?I want audible screams.

I want audible laughs.

I want tears, and I want cheers.

Something that makes people say, Youve gotta see this movie in the theater.
