00:01 My name is Rudy Mancuso.
00:02 I am the director--
00:04 Action!
00:04 --co-writer, lead actor--
00:06 I'm freaking you out.
00:07 --and composer of "Musica."
00:11 It's very chaotic.
00:12 I'm not trying to brag, but that's my job.
00:16 5, 6, 7, 8.
00:19 Music is pretty much the first language that I've ever spoken.
00:22 It's also the language of how I see the world.

00:27 [CLATTERING]
00:30 So let me take you on a little journey
00:32 through my musical universe.
00:35 For as long as I can remember, I've
00:36 been obsessed with emulating all the sounds that I would hear.
00:39 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:42 But I've always wanted to do more.
00:43 That turned into the dream of doing
00:45 what Chaplin would do, which is to write, direct, act in,
00:48 compose, and even choreograph my own stories.
00:50 (SINGING) It was a lonely guy named Robert
00:52 who was feeling kind of down.
00:54 So he got himself a beer.
00:55 Sound drown.
00:58 So he got himself a beer, and he made a weird sound.
01:01 Ah!
01:02 Mm-mm.
01:02 So I began filming everything.
01:04 I started making videos of my music, videos of my mom.
01:07 She washes dishes.
01:08 Mom says supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
01:11 Supercalifragil--
01:12 [INAUDIBLE]
01:14 Videos of my puppets.
01:15 I can do this.
01:16 I can do this.
01:17 I'm ready to burn some calories.
01:18 Ready to burn some calories.
01:20 I'm done eating fast food and drinking alcohol.
01:24 I'm ready to burn some calories.
01:27 I started learning a lot more, teaching myself more
01:29 instruments.
01:31 As the videos got bigger and better, for some reason,
01:35 they resonated with people.
01:37 All that led to right here, right now,
01:42 which is realizing my ultimate dream of making a film.

02:02 I've done in my entire life.
