DA: We’ve learned that you have been writing a few scripts of you own during the pandemic. Can you tell us more about that? JDG:

I’ve always been eager to tell stories. Whether it’s in front or behind the camera, it’s my favorite thing in the world. It’s the best form of self-expression to me and writing is just one of the ways in which I let that loose. I wrote two scripts over the duration of the pandemic and a pretty good number of short stories and poems. I love writing; it’s therapeutic for me.

It was so enjoyable for me to play this character and act alongside some really talented actors who I look up to. Fionn Whitehead who plays my brother in the film was so kind and sweet and treated me like I was brother in real life, minus the violence. Of course, Mena Suvari and Rainn Wilson were also just such beautiful and generous people who mean so much to me.

I hope to just continue doing what I love to do and what I’m passionate about and hopefully create some exciting art for everyone who’s anticipating it.
