I like to describe myself as a film hack—making short films both for fun and semi-professionally. Back in 2007–2008, I created a stack of genre parodies with my kids, including a Star Wars fan film, though they were never publicized. Now that my kids are grown, maybe I’ll share one or two… someday.
