Towards the end of the interview, Roy shockingly put down his guard & got vulnerable I was not expecting this. "I'm faced with a situation that almost nobody faces in their in their lives ever & it's hard. There's like no one I can turn to for advice. Who's...

@im_roy_lee I think vulnerability is a poor word to use to describe situations like this It has a negative connotation to weakness I think it’s more of that Roy is in a unique situation that nobody else is in and is seriously struggling or concerned how to approach it

@im_roy_lee might be hard to follow back 100K+ people, I guess

Tough. Going to drop a truth bomb here. Being blacklisted is no joke. I’m still unemployed until this day since mutually agreeing to leave a company. All I asked for was medical leave, did nothing wrong, work degraded my health and was asked by the physician to take time off of work to heal. They will overwork you 12-16 hours a day, for a supposed to be 9-5 salary but when your health matters, they leave you behind. Ever since, no recruiters emails. No response to any applications. Applied to over 200 open roles. Before I would get recruiters emailing everyday. Now…nothing. So hats off to him, that he can win on his own, with a team to back him moving forward. I’m going to do the same.

For that - Roy has my respect. 🫡 we have to love those who support us even when the world turned its back. Some may not appreciate his style but it’s just different and no one is here to please others…there are obligations when taking investor money…that’s true but the investors know who they invested in…if it comes as a surprise to them it’s says a lot more about their diligence than it does Roy’s.

George Lucas on how he had to reluctantly write the screenplay for 'American Graffiti' (1973) & the confidence he gained from the movie's success: "When I was doing 'American Graffiti' (1973) I was still struggling with my ‘I don’t want to be a writer’ syndrome. I had some good friends of mine that I wanted to write the screenplay, but it took me like two years just to get the money to do a screenplay. And I got a little tiny amount of money and—which I had to go actually to the Cannes Film Festival to get on my own. So finally I got this money. I called back and I said, you know, “I got the money. We can start working on the screenplay.” And they said, “Oh, we don’t want to do that now. We’ve got our own low-budget picture off the ground and we can’t write it.” I said, “Oh no.” I said, “What am I going to do? I am in Europe and I’m not going to be back for like three months and I want to get this thing off the ground.” So they recommended another student from school that I knew pretty well. I had a story treatment that laid out the entire story scene by scene, so I called him over the phone from London and I said, “Do you want to do this?” And he said, “Okay.” The person I was working with at that time as a producer made a deal with him for the whole money because there wasn’t very much. It was so tiny that he could only get him to do it for the whole amount of money. When I came back from England, the screenplay was a completely different screenplay from the story treatment. It was more like 'Hot Rods to Hell' (1967). It was very fantasy-like, with playing chicken and things that kids didn’t really do. I wanted something that was more like the way I grew up. So I took that and I said, “Okay. Now here I am. I’ve got a deal to turn in a screenplay. I’ve got a screenplay that is just not the kind of screenplay I want at all and I have no money.” And, I spent the very last money I had saved up to go to Europe to make the deal, so I had nothing. That was a very dark period for me so I sat down myself and wrote the screenplay. After I did 'American Graffiti', and it was successful, it was a big moment for me because I really did sit down with myself and say, “Okay, now I am a director. Now I know I can get a job. I can work in this industry, and apply my trade, and express my ideas on things and be creative in a way that I enjoy. Even if I end up doing TV commercials or something, or I fall back into what I really love is documentaries. I’ll be able to do it. I know I can get a job somewhere. I know I can raise money somewhere. I know I can do what I want to do.” That was a very good feeling. At that point, I’d made it. There wasn’t anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies."
