I should have gotten a haircut. Hey everybody. Thanks to the Academy for this amazing honor. I need to salute my fellow nominees Tanel, Michael, Ian, and Ivan. I invite the world to check out these films that you can find them on iTunes. I think that you're going to love them. Also, thanks to everyone at NYU's graduate film program. First among them, Bobby Webster, my cinematographer, Gigi Dement, Stefanie Walmsley, Ryan Silbert, Steve Dibianco, my actors Marian Brock, Chris Hirsh, Emily Young, also Levi Abrino, Rob Meyer, Casey Smith, Nick Ordway, the rest of the crew, which I'll thank on like the thank you cam or something they do after that, everyone at Paradigm, Ouat Media, and finally my mother, who did craft services for the film, my dad, the great state of Delaware, and last, but not least, my brilliant composer, and the love of my life, Sasha Gordon. You're my dream come true.
