THE FIRST ONE YOU'VE DIRECTED YOURSELF, RIGHT?
>> YEAH, THIS IS THE FIRST LONG FORM NARRATIVE ACTION FEATURE
I'VE DIRECTED.
>> Stephen: IT'S CALLED CHANGELAND?
>> IT IS.
>> Stephen: WHAT HAPPENS?
IT IS THE STORY OF A GUY, ME, WHO PRE-PAIRED A SECOND MONEY
MOON FOR A MARRIAGE HE DIDN'T KNOW WAS FAILING AND ON THE EVE
OF SURPRISING HIS WIFE DISCOVERS SHE'S HAVING AN AFFAIR AND
INSTEAD OF CONFRONTING HER HE SCOOPS HIS BEST FRIEND AND GOES
ON THE TRIP.
>> Stephen: WHERE DID YOU GO?
WE WENT TO THAILAND.
WE HAD ALL THE FANTASTIC LOCATIONS AND MET ALL THE
FANTASTIC CHARACTERS.
WHEN IT WAS HAPPENING, IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL, SO I THOUGHT THERE'S
A MOVIE IN HERE.
I SPENT THE NEXT FEW YEARS TO WRITE IT AND GATHERED PEOPLE TO
MAKE IT?
McCULKIN IS IN IT.
>> YES.
WE GOT TOGETHER AND WROTE A TRUE STORY ABOUT NEW YORK NIGHT LIFE.
SOMEBODY SAW IT?
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: ALMOST SOMEBODY
SAW IT.
>> SOMEBODY SAYS, THAT SOUNDS FAMILIAR.
I THINK I'M THINKING RICHIE RICH!
( LAUGHTER ) BUT MAC IS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE,
HE'S A TERRIFIC PERSON.
WE FOUND A LOT IN COMMON BECAUSE WE HAVE A SIMILAR LATER OF
EXPERIENCE, EVEN THOUGH DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES.
>> Stephen: CHILD STAR?
ORT OF.
I WAS NEVER AS CATASTROPHICALLY FAMOUS AS HE WAS AT A YOUNG AGE
AND NEVER ASSOCIATED WITH A SPECIFIC PROJECT TILL MY 20s,
BUT WE BOTH FELT LIKE SOME YOUNG KID HAD WORKED ALL THEIR LIFE TO
HELP US INHERIT SOME MONEY.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
IT WAS LIKE WE BOTH WERE KIDS WHO WORKED AND EARNED A LIVING
AND THAT PART OF YOUR LIFE IS ALMOST AT SUCH A DISTANCE NOW
THAT YOU'RE AN ADULT AND YOU'RE, LIKE, REAL HAPPY THAT THAT KID
WORKED SO HARD SO YOU CAN TAKE IT A LILT EASIER NOW.
>> Stephen: THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
"CHANGELAND" IS IN THEATERS AND ON DEMAND TOMORROW.
SETH GREEN, EVERYBODY!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK!
