When I saw (Tan's movie) 15, I thought this guy is just up there, you know, ... I said, 'Look Roy, just do a feature. Don't worry, we'll get the money, and you keep the budget really lean.' That's how 15 (the feature-film version) came about.

He said he wanted to help me, ... He said he would give me $2,000 to make a movie!
