Grant compares work as a director to his newest sport.
“I’m just recently getting into fishing and it reminds me a lot of filmmaking. No matter how well you know the bait and the lure and where the fish will be you never quite know. It’s just a game of casting as many ideas as you can out into the world that you are passionate about.”
