there are moments when i have to take into account that i am a very lucky person. i have access that most don't. i am unique in that i am me. there is no other person like me, just other people that are seemingly the same. this gives me the advantage of having a personal "voice."
i have been thinking as of late, upon the decision to pursue this grand tradition of filmmaking; how to begin, how to make thought into action, how to create rather than plan. it's a flurry of doubts encased in a desire.
there are important things happening every day that no one sees. there are things that are just pleading within society and its ills to become manifest. of course my chosen craft is both photography and cinema; the latter being one of the singular most exploited and easily exploitable of the audio-visual crafts.
it is so easy to make a cinematic piece of poo, which is pretty-looking and garners acclamation(and money) from the masses of mindless drones/viewers. but, i would rather have 20 people see the work i am capable of making, and have those few individuals think about a greater depth to the world. a greater change, and a deeper truth to what we might call our lives.
i am growing impatient of waiting waiting waiting, but have yet to properly find that starting point. i do not doubt it will come soon, and when it does, i hope that i will have the opportunity to tell the things i have to tell, in a resounding timbre which will echo.
today's researched interests:
interview on the short "hole", by tsai ming-liang, director
short bio on christopher doyle
"Hollywood filmmakers, by and large, have everything at their disposal except something to say."
