Jerry Stahl is a writer and producer. He wrote the memoir Permanent Midnight. A 1998 film adaptation followed with Ben Stiller in the lead role.

The film "Urge" also recounts the inability to live a life. Do you agree?

This is a film about a world of little Trumps. Instead of real-estate they live vapid, materialistic lives and take drugs. But the mentality is the same.
