On Philadelphia: "I was here three years ago for Ken Park, my last film, which showed at the Film Festival. It was the best audience ever. This year, when I showed Wassup Rockers, it was a great audience too. They laughed; they were rockin' and rollin'. There's something about Philly's audiences, and I've seen audiences all over the world. Yesterday I walked from Broad and Walnut down to Second Street. I was looking at the statues and stuff and I found myself reading the signs. There was a big park, and in the park was a burning flame for the people in the Navy who had died for our freedom. I reflected on our country and the freedom I have to make my films. Most of my films wouldn't get made in a lot of countries. In fact, in a lot of countries I'd be just taken out and shot. So I'm very sensitive to Philadelphia being the cradle of freedom. I mean that sincerely."
Wassup Rockers opens in Philadelphia in June.
