I think the first films that I was exposed to came to my mother you know she liked the

godfather good fellows a lot of Scorsese films but she was also really into romantic comedies like when Harry

Med Sally stuff like that.

Really I think it was just an inquisitive thing of me just trying to expand my palette

sort of realizing that that's where a lot of my interests sort of lie within that realm.

At first it was as an actor, but then I sort of segued into, you know, behind the camera

work where I found really the most fulfillment.

Philip Humans was 17 years young when he started making his feature film

Burning Kane and let me tell you it's a deep film it stars Wendell Pierce and it's it's an old soul kind of movie about

old folks trying to get by and it's deep. It's not something about youth and trying to

break into a party. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but that's what you'd expect

from a young teenage filmmaker, and this is not that. This is a mature, polished, deep, poetic, powerful

film made for next to nothing.

Burning Kane is on Netflix now, but you don't have to have seen it to appreciate this conversation.

We talk about what it's like to make a movie, to work with actors, to deal with budgets,

and write scripts and get shots, and handle all the craziness that inevitably happens on a movie

said.

This one is for everyone who wants to make a movie or wants to know how movies are really made.

And everyone who wants to know how this young genius got started.

You're going to hear a lot more from Philip humans in the future, so let's go. It's

Philip humans on Toray Show. So you're 19 you've made a film which is very mature it's sort of an old soul sort of film. You know usually

younger folks make a film about being young. This film has lots of older people.
