So you're watching the wedding

late-night cable access.
>> You direct both your parents.
So, who was more challenging?
Tim look away or your mom?

parts and they were both
extremely difficult to work
with.
I struggled most with my father
and my mother.
>> They were great.
>> No, but actually, they
legitimately have pretty small
parts.
By the way, it's a comedy.
It's got carry kennen, some
great, amazing actors in it.
It's quite the ride.
I would highly recommend it.
It's hitting theaters shortly.

in Austin and the reviews were
amazing.
Comparing him to David lynch
and -- yeah.
I'm so proud.

Just heads up.
>> Did you encourage your
children to get in the business
or try discourage them, knowing
how tough it is?
>> They pushed me to design
rockets for a while.
>> No.
We encouraged it after high
school.
We want to make sure they all
got college educations and
didn't go too fast into the
business.
So, jack went to usc film school
and found a crew of people there
that are super cool and had his
own group of friends.
And they started making their
own film right out of college.
>> And isn't it true you're
auditioning for a part to play
your dad's son?
I don't know what you would to
play the son of your dad.
>> Starring moment.
>> You'd think that would be
really hard for me and a
scarring emotional experience.
Now that I'm talking about it on
television, it's gotten really
bad and only gotten worse.
People usually say be yourself.
And I am my father's son and
when I audition, they say you're
not.
That was really difficult.
I'm glad you brought it up.
>> Is it true your dad brings it
up all the time?
>> He's only brought it up once
before but it's always in
interviews.
>> In this movie, you shot it
with a vhs?
>> Yes.
>> That camera.
Old reliable.
>> Old faithful.

>> Of course.
I will do that.

first camera?
>> Well, we had cameras around
the house.
>> This is my father.

face.
>> I love the way this looks.
It's very sex, live and
videotape.

a great sense of humor.
Much funnier than I am.
