Why I'm producing The 1 Second Film:
Well, I just signed up to be a producer. Does this mean that I can boss you around now? Please let me know as I haven't produced anything in a while and I am really itching to make someone's life (beside my own) miserable. What about the 10 second film? Don't pussyfoot around with another 1 second deal -- people want to see you move up in the world.
