Anthony, what do you expect to find here?

There's a lot of stuff on the tapes.

It sure is about Michael
a lot of material.

Okay.

Wait a minute. Are you going to show all the crap?

Absolutely everything. And...

Voilà. I spent a large part of my teenage years

-recording almost every day.
-Oh yeah.

There's a lot to these tapes
family history.

Want to use these in your document?

Namely.

This is all from 1989.

So you've saved Michael

-for cassettes...
-Many times.

-...before he made it big in Hollywood.
-Yes.

-Okay.
-I mean,

that it's a big deal.
After all the years of composing

he finally gets to direct his own film.

And even a big studio movie

-For Marvel.
- I know.

He has wanted this since he was a child.

"Tape 132,
the first day of the last term."

"Voices on the radio while reading
for the math test."

"1985. Mom and Dad's 25th wedding anniversary."

It's on the B side.

-Does it work?
-Wait and see.

We wish them luck and success
and hopefully we'll be leaving soon,

so they can enjoy each other.

To Anthony, our family
to the recorder of history.

-Michael.
-Michael.

Mother, father...

Thank you for raising
me to make films.

CHILDHOOD HOME OF THE GIACCHINOS

Well. Now it goes.

Yeah. This is my brother.

-Hello, how are you?
-How's it going?

He's doing a behind-the-scenes thing with this one.

PRE-PRODUCTION MEETING

-Oh damn.
-Yes.

Still, feel free to speak.

EDITOR

The thing is, I want to know,
what you want to do,

-for I know you have a thought.
-Right.

What to remember.

SUPERVISOR

“This is a horror movie.
It has to be exciting."

"There must be fear."

We can reduce it to two parts.

It becomes exaggerated.

Too simple.

Monsters don't appear out of nowhere,
they come from people.

We don't want it to be without humor,

but that's not what it's about.

It's about someone stepping into a place,
where he doesn't belong.

So you're going to direct your first film,
and it goes to Marvel.

Excited?

I get to work
with the best in the world,

so don't worry. Rather...

It feels the same as composing for movies.

Is it about

that you keep thinking about it
to get it right.

EARLY FILMS OF MICHAEL GIACCHINO

When did movies become your life?

I remember being about nine years old,
when I started to fall in love with movies.

I smuggled a tape recorder to the cinema

and I recorded the movies I saw.

I put a small speaker under the pillow

and I listened to those things

over and over again.

Then father gave me
his old 8mm camera.

We have three things to say,
what we got

Sound film camera and projector.

And a lot of stuff,
which I can use in my films.

DIRECTED BY MIKE GIACCHINO

Now do your homework.

This house was like
your first filming location.

I definitely thought of the house as a studio
and as an outdoor filming location.

This is the last time I quit.

We filmed in the kitchen.

We filmed on the patio.

We filmed in the basement.

We filmed in the backyard.

We filmed on the roof.

There was nothing better to do
like making things up with a group.

Forget everything else

and immerses himself in a crazy story.

Make movies.

I hope everything goes just as well

like those old Super 8 movies.

I know that Michael and I
we're leaving for Atlanta soon,

but before that, do you have time to talk a little?

Of course.

How does the coffee taste?

That's a bit thin.

I can take more if you have any.

do you want me

No, I just... Make it...

Here. I have more.

Now it is good.

-Really?
-So.

Okay. I tried to summarize Michael's career.

I put something together and thought,

that you could read it?

-Sure.
-Sure.

-No. Read it out loud.
-Clear.

Michael Giacchino grew up
In Edgewater Park, New Jersey.

He studied film production
New York, School of Visual Arts.

In his spare time he studied
music at Juilliard.

Early work in video game production

led him to compose music
for several Steven Spielberg games.

I don't... To me...

This is a standard biography.

But he is hardworking, generous.

I think he is creative, not only
in music, but in many things.

I was going to ask, are you going to mention

a cartoon he drew
for his first communion?

His work caught my eye
J.J. Abrams' attention,

and he asked Michael to compose
For Alias and Lost series.

Since then

Composed by Giacchino

to some of the most popular
and from the most respected films.

"His credits include The Batman,

"The MCU's Spider-Man Trilogy..."

The MCU?

I know what the Spider-Man trilogy is.

The MCU is the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Okay.

Doesn't Batman belong
To the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

No.

Batman belongs to DC. to DC Comics.

-So.
-Clear.

"...The Wonder Family,

"Jojo Rabbit, Rottatouille,

"Towards the heights,

"Star Trek,

"and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

“He's won three GRAMMYs,

"Emmy, Golden Globe, BAFTA and Oscar."

That's a short biography

of his achievements.

I would say so.

Often when you meet

relatives, it's like that.
They mention that.

Dad, don't worry.

I think there will be a lot of family here.

Yes, it has a lot of…

This is...

Did you think you'd get a chance
to direct such a film?

If I could go back in time to tell
to my 15-year-old self,

that I would control
a werewolf movie for Marvel,

my head would probably explode.

But now I have work to do,
that is, to tell this story.

And I need to figure it out.

SUPERVISOR

Over the years I have been lucky...

SUPERVISOR

when I get to work in the field
with the best instructors.

SUPERVISOR

They have helped me understand,

what like this
giant production requires.

When I compose for a film,
I'm basically alone.

Myself,

in the room.

When I direct,

I interact
with many fields.

Writers, special effects people,
actors...

I'm excited, and I hope
everyone can join,

but you can't know if everything will work.

PRE-PRODUCTION

TWO WEEKS BEFORE FILMING

How do we get out?

Action!

We used to do this,
alone, at home as a child.

DIRECTED BY MICHAEL GIACCHINO

I worked as a janitor during high school.

It was great because I made money

to buy film, to make films.

I make an example of everyone,
who are fighting.

Yes sir.

DIRECTED BY MICHAEL GIACCHINO

I have to tell you something.

It's about a snake.

You said it's just a legend.

All my friends
was a big part of my encouragement.

They were there to help,

doing the things I wanted.

Doing the things I wanted.

We did it in collaboration,
in a fun way.

The hair will...

CREATURE WORKSHOP

The arms are over there.

Vampire creatures have ear hairs.

- That happens to everyone.
-Looks good.

It's really great.

What's your deal with monsters?

I always was
interested in imaginative...

Madness.

...of sci-fi and horror movies.

And I love monsters.

I love this guy.

The monsters are struggling with something.

There is something in their lives,
what they don't control,

and they try to find out
and make it work.

So basically...
Fingers crossed so far.

MASK AND SPECIAL EFFECTS

My hand would go inside it.

Are you scared?

DRESSING

Pretty scary.

CEO OF MARVEL

In a good way. I love that.

All monsters and creatures
are metaphors

for human difficulties,
that we all experience.

- Look at that.
-All right.

I don't just see it as an exciting thing

like: "There's a crazy monster!"

For me, it's research on that,

how they manage
with the demons of their lives.

Okay, that's pretty damn amazing.

As a child, I was afraid of Bigfoot.

I grew up in New Jersey,
so I was terrified.

Did that scare you?

I had a nightly ritual,

where i imagined
that in front of my bedroom windows

-descended shields.
-Right.

I had to imagine it
in my head every night.

Okay, the shields are coming down,

Bigfoot can't get his hand in.

I'm safe and I can go to sleep.

What was scarier? Bigfoot,

or the one when I asked Can I document
the filming of your first film?

Not scary at all,
that you follow me.

The camera was always with you.

What do you like about the food of Little Italy?

-Excellent.
-Excellent?

-What's the best place?
-Angelo's.

By saving everything...

He said, “Cool, Michael.”

I'm talking to my prom date,
to my girlfriend.

It was brought to the cupola.

Okay, what are you guys doing?

I'm turning 20 at midnight

and I describe the last hours of my teenage years.

This is a first
my german speaking days.

You created an insanely vast
an archive of your life...

Spellbinder.

We have mushrooms, olives,
sausage, pepperoni.

...and about our family.

Anthony, is that our camera?

That's my camera.

Good luck, Michael

You are almost 21 years old.

I'm getting old.

Do you have a video camera?
stuck in your face?

Hold on, I'll try to unplug it.

The camera was always present.

Hey.

You were always there.

I will describe the last part of it.

FIRST DAY OF FILMING

Do you shoot? Great.

- That's where the pain comes from.
-I'm curious.

If there is a light above your head,
could you light it?

What did you mean by:
"That's where the pain comes from"?

What does it mean?

Oh brother.

-Prod.
-Prod.

Really.

Don't you feel different than yesterday?

I feel tired.

I got up early.

is that all? Just tired?

What do you want? Something philosophical...

I'm just curious.

I mean I don't have a job to do,
before there is something.

“Turn the camera over there.
Say something like this."

I'm in the car right now.

If we're lucky,
Bigfoot crosses the road.

I've been thinking about this for two years now.

There's a cage over there.

- You will be put there.
- In a cage?

-Yes.
-Good morning.

-Hey. Good morning.
-Hey.

-Leo. How are you?
- Hey, Leo.

-Leo. You present...
- Simonia.

Simonia.

Looking great.

- Just not?
-Yeah.

Yeah. It's... Oh my God.

- Isn't it wonderful?
-Yeah.

How are you?

-Good morning.
-How's everything going?

-The first day.
-This is going to be fun.

This is our photographer, Zoë White.

CAMERAMAN

-Hey.
- This is my brother, Anthony.

-Hello nice to meet you.
-So are you.

I try to stay off the feet.

Well. Welcome to Buzzcut
to the first day of filming.

In case you don't know,
because a few are...

There's Michael, our director.

Do I look good?

-You look great.
-I look great.

You look amazing.

-Just like that.
-Is everything okay?

This is the first shot of the film.

Michael's first.

This is significant family history.

Now let's go.

Starting from the clock.

Clear. Action.

That's great.

-Across.
-Good.

- Great.
-Across.

The music changes, we have a crescendo,

so peaks and valleys will do
getting bigger and bigger.

Thank you.

- This is my brother, Anthony.
-How's it going?

-Anthony, Gael.
-Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you.
-So are you.

-All right?
-Yeah.

- Tell me if I'm in the way.
-Clear.

Reminder to self: Stay away
from the feet of the actors and camera crew.

Where is that clock?

Across.

What was that about?

-Where?
-You...

PRODUCTION ASSISTANT

It plays the breaks.

It is played twice.

Could I play it?

I have to wait for his announcement
and then i play it.

can i do it
when he next announces?

Yes.

- Was that it?
-Not yet.

Do I have to do like you?

It's over.

At the start of the intake,
when he says, "Start the clock,"

you put it up, and then it goes off.

I put it up and leave it at that?

-Exactly.
-Okay.

-When will it happen?
-I will tell you.

Silence.

Okay, all set?

-I think everyone.
-Full picture.

Soon.

Alright thanks. Let's ring the bell.

A watch, please.

Ring the bell.

- Is that it?
-You have to be faster.

- Shall I put it down?
-No.

- Go!
-It works!

Ulysses Bloodstone.

As though...

No. Just one, two.

Just one, two?

Then finally it is in the off position.

Okay.

Rather...

He arranged his presence in other ways.

Across!

-Across.
- I'll hang up.

Did it go right?

A little long, but close.

Well, let's describe the wallpaper.

Let's lock the corridor as soon as possible.

I need a new background.

Okay. We'll do that.

Your work is crucial.

-Really?
-It is.

You play the thing and everybody knows
that the recording is in progress.

Right, and that too
turn on the lights outside.

It tells you not to enter.

THIRD DAY

What have been the reactions?

Are people surprised,
that you switched from composing to directing?

Entire film crew

knows that I am a film composer.

But they know I'm interested
about more than music.

FLAMING TUBA PLAYER

We talk about movies all the time.
Not just about what we do.

We are passionate about Star Trek and Star Wars.

We are talking about Harryhausen's films.
From King Kong.

Of all the old monster movies.

...for hunting.

They were incredibly atmospheric,
black and white,

beautifully shot films...

To get rid of...

...that help edit this.

There is no peace without blood.

We pay Anthony the same rate.

MICHAEL'S IPHONE PHOTO

Is it better to shoot a documentary
from film production

or real life?

Well, this is a real life documentary.

I guess so. Yes it is.

Camera.

Across.

-That's it.
- Let's have a baby.

Thanks everybody.

Can you get that out of the picture,

-to get a clean picture?
-Sure.

We'll take him there.

We check that everything is fine.

-We can put our hands on anything.
-Anywhere.

Then I come with a hand,

to get out.

-Ian's camera for hand.
-Right.

-Do you have an outfit?
-He's Man-Thing.

- Are you?
-He plays Man-Thing.

...while being in the middle
or one leg on the other side.

As a child I...

I made costumes with masking
and i pictured myself

I behaved like these creatures.

-Carey, are you ready?
-Yup.

-Clear.
-And action!

-The fact that he does it as an adult...
-It's fun.

A childhood dream.

You signal him.

And you to the tuba player.

The camera shoots directly here.

Imagine hearing
Man-Thing screaming.

How did you get into directing
Werewolf by Night?

How did I get to direct?

What does the story tell? How did it happen?

I have worked in several
In Marvel Projects.

-Is that the ceiling?
-Yeah.

Unbelievable.

I feel like a part of the family there.

It's great with them.

A lot... Just different versions.

This, right? It's nice.

It seems like
he would really be beaten.

I look at many of them as

they would have been a part
our filmmaking group as children,

if we had grown up together.

-Is this good?
-Is.

These are the grown-up versions of us.

And then straight across.

Then I talked to Kevin
one day,

and he said, “There's a lot going on now.

"If you would like to direct something,
what would you like to do?”

FULL MOON - FEAR MOON!

I remember saying, "I like side characters."

MONSTERS AND HUMANS!

"I like people who are aloof."

You can do with them
interesting stuff.

Werewolf by Night

was a cartoon when I was a kid.

Marvel Comics. I loved it.

Kevin looked at me, “Werewolf by Night?

"Wow. Okay."

Hello?

Hey Mom.

Hi dad.

You shouldn't talk while driving.

Well, mom...

Your thoughts are elsewhere. You speak.

-I don't think about anything else.
-Okay.

I keep my eyes on the ground.

Michael directs the film.

Do you have any questions about it,
what is it like?

I can tell you anything you want.

How do you think he will do?

And so it shall be.

And so it shall be.

And so it shall be.

I think he will do well.

How is your film going?

My movie...

I wonder why you find the wall interesting.

I like these safety signs.

I think they're funny.

Michael did this.

Yeah, that's great.

MR GIACCHINO'S ASSISTANT

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

I think it's going well.

Good. So far so good.

Yeah, it's fun.

I get to see Michael on the set.

Does he say: "Camera, action, click?"

Clicking?

-I mean...
-The board that...

Have you seen those boards,
which are clicked?

- Right, okay.
-Yeah.

He doesn't say click, but the board does.

Yes, they have one.

He knows music,

but this is a new gig,
so it may be different.

-Right.
-You know.

As a child, he enjoyed filming
and about directing.

That's what we're going to do.

We'll start here.

Take one.

But that was as a child.

I remember,

that we took a trip to California.

No, Anthony. Give it to me.

We'll be there in an hour.

Mike, are you filming this?

Now we are in California,

on Hollywood Boulevard.

You'll see it here first.

We went to Universal Studios.

We'll make the rounds

through the area where the filming studios are.

Michael was ecstatic.

Movies were his passion.

At Universal Studios

Michael was chosen.

-Right, twice.
-Twice.

To show how films are made.

They asked for volunteers,
he raised his hand and was chosen.

This is Michael from New Jersey...

And he loved it.

He thought it was the best.

Thank you. You have to do that.
Perfect.

That was great.
It was an important milestone for him.

He seemed to know his path,
and he took every opportunity.

13. FILMING DAY

Today is an important day because...

Every day is important.

Every day is important.

But today is cool.

It's Thursday today.

EDITOR

Today... Yes, today is Thursday.

And across.

- That was pretty good.
-It was awesome.

Absolutely. You have to go back because...

He's going to be great.

Carey is working on it right now.

Cool.

Those are the things
that we wished for as children.

To use them in movies,
which we did.

It would have been difficult.

Yes.

When we were children,
I had a Super 8 camera.

Most photographed with them
their children in the swimming pool,

at the beach or wherever, and it fit.

But what we did was...

Movies.

THIS WAS A MIKEL FILM PRODUCTION

As a child, you had to solve every problem.

Inventing a story

to describe it, to illuminate it,

to animate it.

Everything is done by ourselves.

No one had experienced.

We make things up on the fly

based on what we can see.

Did you know that Michael
made movies as a kid?

STUNT COORDINATOR

I did not know that.

This is awesome.

It has special effects.

Now we do it on a bigger scale.
That's incredible.

Found in the library
books about film making.

There were magazines about the subject.

They were hard to find.

They had to be acquired.

A group of friends is running around,

there is a lot of action.

A lot of wide pictures. You can see everything.

EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

And it wasn't easy. We were children.

-Michael.
-Hey.

We couldn't drive anywhere,

we needed a ride from someone.

Should have asked the parents
to give a ride somewhere

to get what we need.

Those pictures, besides...

We held on to the car, and he's driving,

Michael is holding the camera.

I want to say that...

Now that I have kids.

Some of these things

might be a bit questionable.

When I grew up in a time without cell phones,

did what he did
The parents didn't even know.

I own this blast
for all MGG Studios films.

Luckily I survived.

If I wanted a character to shoot a laser gun,

the film had to be scratched by hand.

Should have been careful.
I had a carpet knife,

and there was no undo button.

When the film was scratched, that was it.

Had to sit for hours doing it.

What are you going to grill?

Hamburgers, hot dogs,

turkey bites, beef bites.

Is it difficult to feed so many souls?

-No.
- Right?

Doesn't matter if they are
four or six hundred.

How the hell is that not stressful?

It's fun to watch people eat.

I can say that in documentaries
don't eat like this.

Really?

What have you learned

about making a documentary?

What have I learned from the documentary?

Yes, I'm curious!

Not from this documentary, but...

I'm just curious.

Making a documentary is very different

from a feature film or fiction.

-Can I borrow this for a moment?
-Yeah.

In fiction films

you know what to get every day.

Today we cut hands off.

You know what you're doing.

We are going to...

-Every step is careful.
-Okay.

You get it. You put it together as you go.

Great. Yeah.

Excellent. Across.

-Nice.
- Great.

Across.

In the documentary it feels like...

Raukka parka.

He has been here for three days.

...that you have no idea,
what you need.

You don't always know how to get it...

You have to step over him.

...and you are always in the dark
looking for a light switch.

I'm a little worried about this guy.

It should have been
In Guardians of the Galaxy 3,

but we took it in advance.

That's how it feels.

You are always looking for a way out.

Exactly. And in yourcase

you have a script.

You can write your character
away from all situations.

Exactly.

You don't know who he's looking for.

-Yeah.
-He's looking for someone

-and he's worried.
-Yup.

Then the whole thing is revealed.

"Oh shit. It's a monster hunt."

- Great.
-But...

Do we hear a roar,
the tree falling and him saying:

"Damn. They're coming."

Then there's the thing,
where it won't stick...

I wonder if we can hear
another voice from Man-Thing,

and then from that look he says:

"Let it burn. There's the wall."

Yeah.

Feels like,
that the scene could be shorter.

He organizes things,
which are happening.

He rearranges them in the cell.

But I'm just trying to figure out…

If I'm Jack and I get to the wall.
Let's say everything is going well.

"When do I turn it on? What do I do?"

I believe he is saying:

"Can you use this?" And the woman: "No."

"I think it catches everyone,
what you throw."

-Yeah.
-You know?

Then comes the throwing, and it bounces,

because we are used to it in the movies.

You're welcome.

I don't remember like this
detailed discussions

before something exploded
in your old movies.

I used to put
a piece of wood and firecrackers

and then a pile of ketchup packets...

-Creator.
-...next to him.

Not for yours?

No. He was a test subject.

We had fireworks on hand,

when we were children.

The thing I liked
In Hunters of the Lost Treasure,

was to learn how to use bang bombs.

Small explosives.

Maybe the blood pack exploded.

Maybe it was just a flash or something.

Make.

You come out this way,

you slide to a stop.

There is a wall. It has a crack.

Bombshells...

I asked: "How do we do that?"

I watched the cooking instructions on TV

over and over again and I recorded them.

He tells you to throw it at the wall.

Everything you throw gets caught.

And you throw it.

But it won't stick.

I thought I'd take the bottle cap.

I thought if we deflated the rocket
to the cap, we light the ignition wire

and it triggers, it would work.

We did that on your shoulder,

when you woke up in Time Sleeper.

I didn't remember how it was done.

We got it in a jar at once.
Not the best, but it works.

And action.

At that point, it just blows.

It's still ticking and you're like, "What the hell?"

I remember that we broke boundaries in everything,

where we could.

Try again.

Try a couple of times, and eventually just

you push it right into the crack.

That was the fun of it.

Silence on the sets.

The purpose of making films is
put something on the screen...

Three, two, one, action.

...and see the viewers' reactions.

Go on.

What are you doing?

I'm too young for this!

Unbelievable.

-Was there enough dust?
-I like it.

When I was making movies as a kid,

that would have been...
It would have been useful for you.

MOTHER GIACCHINO

-Hello.
-Hey Mom.

-Yes?
-I thought.

-Yes?
-We did many things

in those Super 8 movies,
things I wouldn't let my kids do.

This is not the first time,
when we hear about it.

That doesn't mean we were
indifferent parents.

We were very busy.

Sometimes things happened,

which should not have happened.

Supervision failed.

I have...

Got to say,
that you had an exciting childhood.

I wasn't criticizing you.

Of course we didn't ask,
can we set explosives

-we back or throw...
-Exactly.

...cannonballs into the swimming pool
to see if there is a wave.

I put a quarter stick of dynamite

to my parents' pool
and I almost broke the cement.

Why did you have a stick of dynamite?

-Where did you get...
-Don't think about it.

- New Jersey.
- Right, New Jersey.

I know a man.

In any case,
I was on the set today.

I saw a werewolf.

Okay.

Action.

SUBSTITUTE FOR HUMANITY

I can tell you about the movie

as long as you don't call TMZ or...

I really wouldn't call anyone.

Nice.

WEREWOLF HALLOWEEN COSTUME

I especially loved the werewolf.

I used to have a coat.

It had fur on the inside.

I turned it inside out,

like I'm turning into a werewolf.

Great. Fantastic.

I don't know how you reconcile that,

that you had a crush on werewolves,

because you also liked the Smurfs.

So that has nothing to do with it

- To Beverly, New Jersey?
-No.

Did you get everything you wanted?

The filming location is great.

It's hard.

Harder than I thought

for the days are long,
and he is tired.

Across.

Across!

It's a kind of struggle.

I understand.

Second? Once more. Let's go.

This is my life right now.

What would you do with him?

How would you get to his film roots?

Try to have a little more control.

That is not an easy question,

but how would you save it?

In other words...

To be honest, I think...

Maybe he needs to be brought back
To New Jersey.

-You know?
-Sounds good.

We gather together

with old school friends,
who were in those movies.

Yes. I guess.

We bring them together

and we visit old filming locations

or we return to Holy Cross,
where they met.

Michael was there
in many theater productions.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Merry Christmas, Mark.

Those theater friends became
his movie friends.

Direct from MGG Studios,
interviewed by Tom White.

It was an integral part of his life.

Hey, Harry.

Hey.

For him to return and see...

"Geez, here I was then..."

I'm on TV.

This is Mike Giacchino, right?

"...and look where I am now."

Clear. Bloodstone is in the air,
you run in.

Bloodstone hits the ground.

Yeah.

THREE MONTHS LATER

We have to watch each other's buns

to ensure
that they are the same size.

Sizes?

You don't want them too big, do you?

Right.

Are they like this?

It's too big.

Mine was a bit bigger too.

What do you like when the kids are at home?

It's too easy to say:

"They'll be leaving soon."

Are you going to watch
Michael's Werewolf movie?

Horror movies are not my favorite.

Now that Michael directed a Hollywood movie,

do you think he is too big for here?

What still surprises your father and me

is how well known he is everywhere.

Yeah.

But if he steps through the door,
he is not the composer Michael.

Aren't you supposed to be sleeping?

He's not Michael,
who made this movie.

He is our son Michael.

When was the last time you went to our high school?

I was here last time...

-Probably at your graduation.
-In 1988.

when i left
I guess they closed the door behind me.

We filmed Time Sleeper there.
Right there.

-That was in 1983?
-Exactly.

I think Holy Cross is important.

The friends you found...

The friends I found were great.

Add creativity to what I wanted to do.

They all had their own,
crazy creative thoughts.

They were all funny.

They should be part of this.

They helped me do this.

Yeah.

I do not believe,
that I would have succeeded without them.

Have you seen them lately?

We talk and text.

During the pandemic, we met on Zoom.

We hung out for a few hours.

-Yeah.
-So every now and then.

But we haven't been together

for a long time.

I am sorry. You can't park here.

It is for students only.

- You have to hug him.
-Only for students.

-How are you?
-Very.

-Nice to see you.
-Nice to see you.

CHILDHOOD FRIEND

-How's it going?
-How are you?

-How are you?
- Nothing more.

-This is crazy.
-That's right. Surreal.

CHILDHOOD FRIEND

Come out.

How are you?

CHILDHOOD FRIEND

-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to see you.

-Awesome.
-What's up?

You're the guy. Jeez.

- That was good. Nice to meet you.
-Nice to see you.

-How are you?
-How are you?

Oh God.

Nice to meet you.

I thought you would already be
been here in your ninja outfit.

He was...

-I still have that suit.
-Certainly.

I still have all the stuff.

My brother woke me up saying:
"There's a ninja at the door."

-It was me.
- It's Tom.

My youngest daughter wears it
and does crazy things.

-Tell me what you did?
- I'll tell you.

I don't hide anything from the kids.

They know their father is crazy.

Well, we're getting older.

I do not believe. Do not say that.

You look like it. I do not know...

It felt much bigger before.

It felt bigger.

I don't know if the phones are still here.

Yeah.

-Now let's go.
- I'll break the ice.

I'm the biggest. If something happens,
it happens to me.

-Open the door.
-Anthony?

Yes.

Frank, what do you think of the play?

Come on. Okay.

The forest is the same. The chairs are the same.

Everything is the same. The floor is the same.

It feels like I'm stepping back in time
to the 80s.

Yeah.

Kevin, come here.

There she is.
Stage master Kevin Zebrowski.

-Tell us about the progress.
-It's from deep.

Call "ads, ads."

- Do you remember the sales pitch?
-Oh God.

-Somehow this way...
- That was it.

Because I write, I don't practice,

so my piano playing is terrible.

Buy Ads, Ads

Do I still have that recording?
It probably is somewhere.

This is a huge theater.

Number of hours this was used.

-We performed all the plays and musicals.
-Absolutely.

-We grew up together here.
-Yeah.

A lot of growing up happened here.

Hey, look.

Hey there.

You are in the picture. Smile.

I think a lot of what we did

during the intervals of musicals and plays,

was planned and considered.

"Okay, what movie are we going to make next?"

I believe that the films that we showed...

Michael brought the movies
and showed them to the people.

They thought it was great.

-It was fun.
-Yeah.

They started joining in.

Do you remember when we presented
Taking Care of Business?

That was great.

The premiere was here.

-In the first year of study.
-So?

Look at this mess,
what you have gotten yourself into.

You would have shot me
when you had the chance.

Do you remember when we filmed?
at Mill Creek Park,

and Craig McCullough...
Was that his name?

-It was.
-...roll down that hill.

It has to be done again.

In one scene he bounces,
and her body...

Great. It worked great.

That's a great shot.

The stuff we did back then... I don't remember

anyone said:
"You too..." You know?

Or: "Stupid idea. Go away."

It was a collaboration.

Our movies had a lot of action,

largely thanks to you.
You drove us.

Great.

I was a gunsmith.
So when we needed weapons,

I stated: "I have things at home.
Shall I bring them?”

When you watch Time Sleeper, my sword...

Harry taps me on the shoulder,

I turn and swing with full force.

If Harry hadn't bent over
as we agreed,

his head would be off.

It was great to have
accompanied by a trained stunt man.

I appreciate it. Thank you.

I don't know where he got his education.

I remember the first time you said:

"Come on the weekend. We're making a movie.

"I need a stat."

I remember coming into the house
for the first time,

and Mike said to hold
the lightsaber he made.

He took the camera and I screamed with it.

And then later he scratched the film,

to make it look brilliant
and it had a laser.

That's my first memory.

-Right. I remember that.
-Really?

I feel like

that I became known
when you started playing Time Sleeper.

Anything for my lord and master.

You were a hero.

-I was a hero.
-You were a sweet hero.

Han Solo from that movie.

-Wait a minute. Wasn't I your hero?
-Anthony was.

Is it because you punched him in the face?

I met Michael Giacchino,

when he came one day,
second year,

and said, "Hi, my name is Michael."

I knew who you were.

We knew each other...
We weren't friends yet.

He said:
“I heard you wrote something,

“and you like sci-fi.
From Star Wars, Star Trek."

"Yeah, definitely."

"I have ideas for a film.

"Do you want to talk about it?"
Then I: "Movie?"

Hello Friend.

We literally met like that.

I remember that.
Then we wrote Time Sleeper.

I still have pages of the manuscript.

Deuce.

I told Anthony,
that I was lucky to find people

who were as excited as I was.

Those who weren't afraid to be as crazy

and stupid like me
while trying to do things.

Well, what do you think?

As if it hadn't been...

"How do we do this? Can we do this?"

It was always, "We're doing this."

Indy, you're getting me in trouble.

Who will get you out of them?

But I have an idea.

If only we had your whip,

we could whip out of here.

-Whip out of there.
-No.

An unfinished film.

Indiana Jones and the Golden Snake.

I still have the golden snake.

- We can finish it.
-Let's do it.

Let's call everyone.

I remember that was enough
be a chase scene.

It was too ambitious.

-It was...
-Yeah.

-Here.
-No, wait...

Was that a whip I gave?

I bought this at Columbus Mart.

Okay.

Just stand there, okay?

CALIFORNIA

You may know Michael
as a great composer,

but he is here
because he is also a talented director.

I have wanted to do
this since the age of ten.

I made movies when I was a kid.

I shot 8 mm and Super 8 films.

I even went to film school. I did all that.

It's been amazing to be able to come back

and doing what I loved as a child.
That is, movies.

Now that it's over...

How would you describe the first one
experience directing your film?

Directing the film...

It's really just a continuation of that,

which I've always done.

It never stopped.

It just kept going.

When I was on the set,

it was fun to go around

and learn about everyone's positions.

And then ask:
"Maybe I could use the carriage

"or maybe I could guide
this big crane."

I believe that the idea of mass art form,

films I made as a child

wouldn't have been so good,
if I had been alone.

Just like in Werewolf.

Working Lauran,

Gaelic,

Harriet's...

We will spill all the blood
for hunting.

...and other actors

and with the film crew.

The best film crew ever!

Yeah!

What they added
made it immeasurably better.

Communal experience and joy,

it was for me
everything in everything growing up.

It was fun and a lot of work.

It took a long time, but it was worth it.
It looks really cool.

Here we filmed
The climax of Time Sleeper.

- We filmed in the loading area.
-On that loading dock.

It looked like an apocalyptic nuclear wasteland.

-It suited what we were doing.
-Right.

Mike Bryson,
do you want to renew our sword fight?

A sword fight? Sure.

It would be like...

- I think...
-And then I hit...

And I jump through.

And now, young man.

Now, young man...

You die.

Harry then throws the knife.

That's right, Harry throws it and...

The peasants have spoken
of rebellion several times in recent years.

The peasants have spoken
about rebellion many times...

I'll tell you the lines.

-Are you ready?
-I am.

Those peasants have spoken
of rebellion several times in recent years.

When they realize they need to

surpass my wits to survive,

they will reconsider.

They always reconsider.

You did it!

Yeah!

Bravo!

Michael Giacchino is on the line!

Hey. How are you doing?

Just a second.

Will you take the call?

I don't. I'm with my mom right now.

Hello Mrs. Giacchino.

They greet you.

Mom, just go to wmmr.com
and go to streaming.

Okay? Go live streaming.

-Clear.
-Sweet.
