I was reading "Slouching Towards Bethleham" today by Joan Didion, who is the best journalistic voice ever, I love her style, spare and elegant, yet so richly descriptive. She captures things just as they are, beautiful. Oddly enough this made me think about movies, well maybe not so oddly as the story I was reading was about Hollywood and how they used to refer to the industry as a monster, and that Didion said at the time, this was the sixties that this was no longer the case, I wonder what she would say now? God ramble ramble....anyway it made me think about the fact that to make movies was once my dream, that it is a dream that has remained in the back of my head for a very long time and now it has arrived again, beckoning its fingers and saying...you know you want to..... and so I'm going to, I am going to make a short film again, I am not 100% certain what it is totally about, but I have a fair idea.
Sometimes it takes a while to realise what you really want out of life...can I stop being such a late bloomer! Back when I started to experiment with making movies, I had such a rigid set of influences, Lynch, Caligari and lot of other mooney nonsense, well not nonsense really, but I am certain if I had met myself I would have laughed and thought get a life, now I feel free of any influences and ready to start creating again....I guess I will make some sort of update here soon.......
