Fresh To Death.

Hello,
my name is Casey Donahue. I write and direct videos for the Upright Citizen's Brigade and I make movies for the love of it. I was voted "Best Filmmaker" by my mother 15 years in a row. Learn more about me and what I can do for you!

bbook: So, like a blind date goes; nobody was going to get action. ‘Please take me home’… And in the car driving back through Santa Monica where I was staying in a hotel Ryan turns on the radio, just to break the uncomfortable silence – I think he just wanted to get away and I just wanted to lie down and slip into a fever dream – and REO Speedwagon’s ‘Can’t Fight This Feeling’ comes on. For some strange reason that song does something for me – and you know when you have a fever, you’re emotions are heightened – and I start just singing to this song. I’ve never done that in front of other people, but I was really singing at the top of my lungs and getting into it, and Ryan was just sitting there probably thinking ‘How the hell do I get this guy out of here?!’ I turned to him for the first time and just screamed in his face. By this point I’d turned the music up so loud that you couldn’t do anything but scream, but I really yelled in his face. I got it. In that moment, I knew what Drive was: a movie about a man who drives around at night listening to pop music because that’s his emotional release. And that’s how the movie was born. My movie. A Real Hero Guys, I still love Drive.
