AM . What would be an influence of yours that may surprise your fans? SMK . This question requires more reflection on my part so right now I cannot answer.​ AM . How did you come to be involved within your specific field of work? SMK . I started by writing the full feature script for Dario Is Simple after an awkward situation happened in my own life. Once that script was done I wrote the full feature script for Intergalactic Booze Cruise shortly after. I have plans for another but took time off writing to work on short films; my kids and I were bored one day and decided to make a stop motion Video together. We enjoyed it and so we kept doing it. That brings me to right now, and I figure why stop? AM . What’s an activity, ritual, or tune you resort to when you need a motivational boost? SMK . Marijuana and meditation. Can I say that first part? AM . What do you do in your free time to unwind? I.e. hobbies, sports etc
SMK . Masturbate mostly. However I do also enjoy photography, hiking, camping, film, righteous parties, marijuana, football, soccer, meditation, and stuff.
AM . If you could remake any movie, be it one you enjoy or dislike, what would it be, and how would you approach it? SMK . Star Wars episodes 1, 2, and 3. I would start by completely scrapping them. Jar Jar Binks would never exist and that's the world I'd like to live in. AM . Would you rather be damned to watch the worst movie you’ve ever seen once a day for the rest of your life, or have a recurring nightmare that you’re stuck in that movie? SMK . Stuck in a movie. I mean if I have to watch the same movie every day that's two hours (give or take) of my life. Daily. Ain't no one got time for that! AM . If you could be in any band, what band would it be and what role would you play? SMK . Oh boy...who gets the most poon. That's really the question here. I'll go Aerosmith. Steven Tyler. AM . You’re cast in a buddy flick - what type of movie is it, and who’s your counterpart? SMK . I guess my answer to this one is that I've already written one (Dario is Simple). AM . What’s a fantasy job you’d love that’s unrelated to your current profession? SMK . James Bond. AM . A penguin walks into your house wearing a sombrero, and looks directly at you. What does he say? SMK . Trick question! He says nothing. Penguins can't talk silly.
