Jim Cummings

But the level of inspiration, the level of thought, the way he talks about art, the way...

Those are the sorts of quotes that you write on your bedroom wall and think about for the rest of your life, right? When I think more practically, I think about people like Jim Cummings.

Oh, my God.

Who literally made a short into a feature.

Under the old terms of indie, A24 would count as indie because it basically just means it wasn't made by one of the top five studios or one of their subsidiaries, right? But there are so many smaller studios now.

Like, my buddy Jim Cummings just made a show, a TV show that he's, like, selling, like, selling himself directly on iTunes, so I'm like, "Maybe I'll just do that."

Oh, is it animated?

No.

Jim Cummings, the voice actor?

No, from, uh, Thunder Road.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.
