Ashley
Okay, gotcha.
Jon Gunn
Yeah, so it’s always been a combination of writing and producing and directing at the same time
Ashley
Mm hmm. So just a couple of sort of off topic questions. Why did you go to Ithaca when you grew up in Southern California? Why not go to film school in Southern California? What was the draw to Ithaca?
Jon Gunn
Well, I actually moved around quite a lot. And so by the time I was in high school, I was living in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. And my best friend, John Mann, was like a high school filmmaker. And he taught me a lot of my sort of early lessons about how to put films together. And he and I both went to Ithaca to get together. And it was just like, I had a great film program and also had a great music program. And I wanted to be a composer and a director. So it was the perfect school for me.
