Afraid Quote by Jordan Vogt-Roberts
“Let's not be afraid of the use of color. Let's not be afraid of crazy art style. Let's not be afraid of the fantastical stuff, and I promise you we can make something that feels like an awesome shooter that you can market to the world, but that is awesome because it commits to what it is.”
