DL: Have you taken a lot of film classes?

DL: A triple threat?
BR: For sure.
DL: Is film something you've always been interested in?
BR: Yeah, definitely. Ever since I was about 8 years old - ever since I could watch movies, basically. I was just always analyzing movies and looking at movies in a different way.
DL: Is there anything else that you like to do in your free time?
BR: I like to draw. Music is a big part of my life.
DL: What's your favorite type of music?
BR: I love the piano. I know - surprising with the Mohawk.
DL: Who is your favorite artist of all time?
BR: Beethoven. I love his music. He has a lot of intense sounds. And I don't know - I love the way he expresses himself through music.
DL: And you want to express yourself in film?
