My First Film I Made, "permanent Vacation," We Shot In 1979 For Like $12,000, Part Of Which I Got A Fake Car Loan For That Amos Poe Told Me You Could Do That. And, Yeah, I Had No Idea What I Was Doing. It Was Just Like, Well, We're Going To Try And Do This. Partly Because I Had Been Following Amos Poe And Eric Mitchell Around For About A Year, And I Worked On Some Of Eric's Films As A Sound Recordist And Stuff.
