Last week, director Aristotle visited NYU’s Film School to speak on his career and how he got to where he is at now through hard work, vision and a dream. In this interview, he speaks on how St. Johns University helped him be around like-minded people (not so much the education), what his goals are and why he rather chase the art of creativity rather than the money. He also gives his opinion on how schools can give kids a better opportunity to work in the Arts, by showing them more experiences and expose kids to more options than basketball, modeling and rapping through the media.
Influence the youth is his motto for the next year.
If you’re not familiar with Aristotle’s work at By Any Means, do yourself a favor and go watch Nas’ “The Don” video, Ludacris’ “Jingaling” and Nas’ “Bye Baby.” And that’s just in recent months. He’s also worked with Fabolous, The-Dream, Jadakiss and more.
You can check out more over at By Any Means, and stay tuned for more videos soon.
