Donnie Darko will forever have a special place in my heart.

Thank you, I no longer doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion!

Six years since this and still no word on a new feature. Hmm

[@luvair6765]

I wish Richard knew how much of an impact he had on me with this movie.

It was a privilege filming this Q&A for the ROXIE! Richard was super kind and humble to the audience that night. Also for those curious about the sound at the beginning of the INTRO, the theater's sound recording equipment was not functioning right away, was a bit of a struggle, but we got it working! Begins @ 2:15

Kelly spoke of viewing the film Brazil with author Robert K. Elder in an interview for The Film That Changed My Life: I think the greatest thing I learned from Terry is that every frame is worthy of attention to detail. Every frame is worthy of being frozen in time and then thrown on a wall like an oil painting, and if you work hard on every frame, the meaning of your film becomes deeper, more enhanced.[3]

I knew it was in Burbank, because that Holiday Inn cannot be mistaken.

[@TheDas9582]

Is it me or the sound doesn’t work?

[@tiearts]

A tremendous interview

[@pearlgirl5643]

So he wrote the script in 28 days finished Halloween night and he filmed it in 28 days and the movie takes 28 days! #SimulationConfirmed 🐰🖤🎃

Kelly was born James Richard Kelly in Newport News, Virginia, the son of Lane and Ennis Kelly.[citation needed] He grew up in Midlothian, Virginia, where he attended Midlothian High School and graduated in 1993.[1] When he was a child, his father worked for NASA on the Mars Viking Lander program. He won a scholarship to the University of Southern California to study at the USC School of Cinema-Television where he was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. He made two short films at USC, The Goodbye Place and Visceral Matter, before graduating in 1997.[2]

So he had been writing that script from the age of 3?

[@locohost1]

I wonder if anyone ever told Richard he looks like David Boreanaz (Agent Seeley Booth)

[@pitchingwedge7546]

No. He is Angel.

[@locohost1]

@29:40 the phrase you are looking for is "false dichotomy"

[@pearlgirl5643]

Wow! Brilliant and hot!

[@tommye1565]

Is the audio silent for the first minute or so?

[@pearlgirl5643]

Yes!
