Brian Selznick: Hello, my name is Brian Selznick.
My family's name was originally Seleznick when they came over from Russia. And there's still parts of the family that have the name Seleznick. My great uncle changed the family's name to Selznick. But it was just that part of the family. But because my grandfather grew up with him, he also changed his name to Selznick.
And my grandfather's first cousin was David O. Selznick, who was the producer of many famous movies, including King Kong and Gone With the Wind.
