Jaron Lockridge: 我更喜欢使用生活经历作为创作素材，因为观众更容易与真实的故事产生共鸣。我的电影创作中融入了许多我亲身经历或见证的事件，这使得作品更贴近生活，更容易引起观众的情感共鸣。这种真实性是我创作的特色，也是我未来创作的重点方向。在独立电影制作过程中，我面临着预算限制和团队成员不专业等诸多挑战。例如，曾经遇到过编辑中途放弃项目的情况，这让我不得不从头再来。然而，正是这些挑战让我不断成长，也让我更加坚定了创作的信念。 我坚持独立电影创作的关键在于热情，即使在经济回报不佳的情况下也要坚持。在过去的几年里，我经历了父亲去世的巨大悲痛，但我也坚持完成了电影制作。这让我意识到，电影创作不仅是我的事业，也是我情感宣泄和疗愈的途径。 我创办了Misguided Perceptions Media Group，公司名称的含义是，我喜欢在电影中设置反转，让观众出乎意料。我热衷于赋能他人，希望为当地对艺术感兴趣的年轻人提供机会，弥补自己年轻时缺乏类似机会的遗憾。 作为一名警官，我的工作经历也为我的电影创作提供了丰富的素材，特别是关于人物互动和真实对话方面。我将这些经历融入到电影中，使作品更真实、更贴近生活。 我正在开发“The Sticks Universe”，一个以《The Sticks》为基础的电影宇宙，包含多个相互关联的电影项目。我的目标是将公司发展壮大，成为一个大型媒体公司，并更多地担任执行制片人的角色，为更多电影人提供机会，创作更多有意义的作品。 Mick Hunt: (This section would contain Mick Hunt's viewpoints and questions, which are implied but not explicitly summarized in the transcript provided.
