#a: future

What are you going to do once you graduate?

Scary question. I really, really hope I’ll have a job, but I definitely have to start thinking about where I want to move. I’m getting strangely comfortable in LA, but I have better chances in NY. So, you’ll have to ask me again... soon.

What life legacy are you leaving?

Hopefully I’ve been able to make those kind of movies that people watch and it changes their lives in a way. Not just the viewers, but the people involved in it too, y’know? I guess it would be great having the ability to do that.

what is your biggest fear for the future?

I’m afraid of possibly ending up in a phase where I’m not satisfied with anything in my life, and there doesn’t seem to be a solution to it. I don’t think it’ll happen, but just the thought of being stuck in a rut like that... Dunno, man.

The war had ended and now a true Baratheon sat the throne. King Stannis Baratheon, first of his name, now claimed the Iron Throne though not without scouring the court clean first. The Lannisters were eradicted, the Boltons too, as well as most of the Freys. The Greyjoys were beaten into submission and the last Targaryen was exiled. He aided the Night's Watch when the Others rose to challenge them and though his army suffered great losses, they prevailed. The king who fought winter, they’d called him. The king who ended the long night.

And now came the part of kingship that Robert failed in. Governing. A tentative peace reigned the realm as the king executed justice. Such was his rule; men reaped what they sowed. It was one he hoped his heir would take as well when she ascended the throne.

It was time, he thought, that she sat in council meetings. He’d requested her presence in the throne room to inform her of his decision. The Baratheon banners that lined the room replaced the Lannister lions. He'd taken the crowned stags as his sigil once more following the departure of the red woman. (A bitter memory he’d best not dwell on.) 

"You will sit in the next council meeting," he instructed as he regarded his daughter with a nod. "They'll no doubt discuss the coin we need to rebuild the Red Keep, but the Night's Watch will need it more. You understand why."

Do you ever worry that once you graduate you wont be taken seriously by the film industry because of your chair?

I’ve been warned about this so many times I can’t even count. Professors have told me, classmates, random people on the street… I’m fully prepared to be rejected and lose a lot of opportunities, but I know for a damn fact that I will fight for myself until there’s no point in doing it anymore. The film industry isn’t exactly… open-minded, but truth is, at the end of the day, it all comes down to the talent. If I got it, I can make a change. There aren’t a lot of representation of disabled people that people like me can look up to, and that needs to change. I ain’t workin’ hard in school for nothin’.
