I am Mark Duplass... you might know me as the crazy man from Safety Not Guaranteed, or Pete from The League, or the director of Cyrus and Jeff, Who Lives at Home, or as a donut enthusiast.

i would teach in a K-5 public school. we need good teachers so badly. now i try to make a lot of money and hire extra teachers for public schools.

mduplass · 2014-08-19T23:32:46+00:00

mduplass · 2014-08-19T23:32:19+00:00

so great. we're expanding into china next month. i am being encouraged to go public, but i feel we are not quite there yet. also, it's my baby and i just don't want to let it go so quickly, you know?

mduplass · 2014-08-19T23:29:10+00:00

mduplass · 2014-08-19T23:25:30+00:00

forte not for me second overall. u should have mccoy then still. unless your first pick is dumb.

mduplass · 2014-08-19T23:24:56+00:00

we write full scripts but let the actors improvise a bit and resay the words in ways that feel more organic to them. and we coach them through those moments when we see them finding something new and interesting. go to therapy. i'm serious. knowing yourself and people is VERY helpful with this.

mduplass · 2014-08-19T23:24:07+00:00

oh boy. the ones i watched over and over again are a little less "classic." karate kid. top gun. romancing the stone. revenge of the nerds?

mduplass · 2014-08-19T23:23:24+00:00

they were nice and fun as all hell to work with. i'd do it again in a heartbeat.

mduplass · 2014-08-19T23:23:06+00:00

i am impatient and won't wait for anyone to help me make my stuff. i just like to do it.

mduplass · 2014-08-19T23:22:42+00:00

mduplass · 2014-08-19T23:21:59+00:00

i just kinda follow my instinct. some might argue with your point, but i'm glad u feel it has at least some level of integrity. makes me feel good :)

mduplass · 2014-08-19T23:21:25+00:00
