Skyler Gisondo

“I want to make people laugh, but I also want to do things that have a serious impact on people - that affect the way they think about something or help them in some way.”

“Acting is always the priority and I love doing what I do, but I'm also very interested in directing and writing and getting a hand in every part of the movie making process.”

“I look so young I could play 14. I don't want to play 14.”

“Now I'm 18, I'm about to turn 19 - I'll get a script for, like, a college frat boy type, and if I'd never gone to school, I wouldn't really have anything genuine to draw from.”

“Although I love working and making movies and that will always be the priority, I really do love continuing my education. It's great to be active and learning instead of sitting around waiting for a phone call for the next project.”

“It's so much fun to be able to collaborate creatively with someone you grew up watching.”

“My favorite part of making a movie is to watch it in a crowd of people seeing it for the first time.”

“I'm starting at USC's film school for directing this month. I'll try to get a semester in at a time. I'll have to take time off for work throughout school, but it will be nice to get through a little bit.”
