10,000 NOs

Cooper Raiff: SXSW Winner, Have Something to Say


Listen Later

While most veteran writer/director/actors wish they could just get in to SXSW, Cooper Raiff won the whole thing in 2020 at the ripe young age of 23. His indie feature, S#!%house, was so good that I sought out his email address, stalked him, and got him to agree to sit down for 10,000 NOs. His secret? Not so complex: keep on charging, pivot when you need to, and really have something to say.

“All I have that I have going for me is I really want to say something. The things that I'm making movies about, or writing about, it's obviously... it means a lot to me. And I think that if I got caught up in how good something is, or how good something is going to be, I’m just going to feel like I need to go to school for nine years before I start this back up.”

It is not the critic who counts. If you’ve been knocked down... get up, dust yourself off, and get back in the arena. If you want to give back, share this with someone who could use it and leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen, so more people can find this show and benefit from these conversations.
