Intent more on commentating on the process of cinema itself, on the characters both inside and outside of the story, on the techniques and the forms of expression used by film and how they relate to the audience, you use random voice-overs, jump-cuts, and an ever moving camera that occasionally jars, often with a humor that acts as a meta-commentary on the commentary process itself.

Which Movie Director Are You?

Steven Spielberg

With subject matter concerning those on the fringes, the taken-for-granted, the unknown, the almost-forgotten, accidental everyday heroes, and innocents affected, your vision is broad, yet always from the subjective of the protagonist, using the pathos of music, sweeping dollies to reveal the forces of what are to come.

Stanley Kubrick
8a8eec4f-93c0-4c1b-95f2-b2e09e3298c4.jpg

You are obsessed with obsession and often the obsessed; employing techniques that constantly challenge the way films are crafted; with protagonists that are find themselves imploding within the very worlds they helped create.

In these tests I always get Kubrick.

I wish I had time to catch up on reading.

Grandma and I just spent three days driving 2200 miles, and then comforting, and being comforted by, family in the funeral surroundings of a remarkable lady I adored. We went to her house to pick up things that her daughters, my virtual sisters, felt would be important to us, including the picture of us that had hung in her bedroom, and wandering through the house for the last time with the memories there from my entire life in sad and sharp focus, knowing that it would be the last time I'd ever be there.

Even in the dead of winter, in my mind, the june bugs smacking against the screen, the hum and cackle of family conversation drifted through the humid air, and the food, coffee, and guaranteed love were a bottomless well. Not just good times. The best times. Even the memories of bringing a teenage blonde girl by, and her being the one girl that they approved of and took in to the family as naturally as if she'd been born to it.

It's a transition that is wrenching and still hard to grasp. That house of a life is nothing but memories now. But sharp and meaningful ones with their powerful and soulful whispers.
(((hugs grampa and gramma))) That's beautiful. Nigh on to poetic.

OK. My tooth operation is done. It went well. I have now officially six stitches inside my mouth. First they had to peel of a part of the gum around the tooth, then drill a little, then wiggle loose the rooth of the tooth and then stitch the gum back where it belong. Got some painkillers on recipe that i gonna start with right away. I have to count on fever and swullen around that part of the face(the cheek i guess). Oh well....
I'm so glad it's over. Now when those stitches heal up, you won't have to worry about that tooth ever again.
Have a popsicle. All you want.

Your subjects are the sensual from under the restricted, youth and nature acting out repressed desires, forever concerned with breaking out from the confines we find ourselves in; and with an uncanny eye for casting, utilizing actors for every whisper, for every held breath, your camera is held close and low to emphasize the smallest shifts of emotional moments.
