Graham Yost

He once arrived at school with a note from his father Elwy Yost explaining that "Graham is late for school because I had him stay up late to watch Cidadão Kane (1941)."

Everything I do in my work is an homage to my dad. He always impressed on me the value of taking an idea and turning it on its head and finding something different. My dad was obsessed by that. His favorite moments in movies were moments that were surprising, and yet felt incredibly satisfying. Or incredibly heartbreaking. So, for both my brother and I, whenever we see movies we see them through the lenses that our father gave us.
