You know, they're subtle things, but we carry those with us forever. And I think that regret and time travel are intrinsically linked to me. Hide

It is a seat at a campfire, surrounded by an extraordinary group of storytellers, filmmakers, artists and craftspeople. We've been charged with telling new stories for a younger generation because they deserve what we all had - a mythology to call their own. We will do this by channeling something George Lucas instilled in all of us: boundless creativity, pure invention and hope. Hide
