editing+finishing my 1st FEATURE FILM (94min)

Where I'm headed to.
My Script w/Notes (above image)

how Jane works: i print out images during the editing process and take them with me everywhere on a daily basis. i scribble down notations and ideas onto the printed images almost like a makeshift version of a "working script". i return to editing table nightly to encorporate the daily notes and to print out new images that push the process foward. During day hours i collect sound with a 48khz SONY field recorder and place the collected sounds onto a thumbdrive (that then gets manipulated in SOUND FORGE for sound design use).

Plotting a conventional user-friendly Narrative

Cinema is meant to be a response to the world, as opposed to a distraction from it, an engagement with the present and the past, historical and aesthetic ---in essence, a dismantling of the barrier between the two.

Kent Jones

“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” - Mahatma Gandhi

QUOTE FOR THE DAY.

"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. In the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."

Mother Teresa

Teaser images from new my feature film

Here are the 1st "teaser" shot/images from the visual-design work for my new film about the flawed U.S. educational system. The film is in it's post-production stage.

Patricia (above) portrays a fired/terminated passionate school teacher.

Drained. Tired. Juggling film editing&preparing.

The new character that I have created/am creating is inspired by 1969 still images/photographs of Patti Smith taken in her apartment in NYC. Her 1969 images/B&W photographs that were taken have helped me create the "idea" for the fired teacher character in my new film.

DON'T ASK ME HOW OR WHY. I don't know. :)

p.s. I am also using various national newspaper articles regarding the many cuts being inflicted upon education all over the U.S.

"FIELDWORK" (contained creature photography)

"FIELDWORK" represents the first major monograph by Finnish artist Kannisto-is/was this Science meets Nature Photography??? Breaking away from the conventions used for usual nature photography, Kannisto presents her animals/plant-life subjects in a handmade lightbox performance stage that is meant to emphasize the creatures beauty away from its natural habitat. Signs of typically standardized scientific study process-- graph paper, rulers, test field markings---are also included strangely out of place amid the lush green foliage of the rainforests she chooses for her "fieldwork".

Kannisto studied art in Finland. Her photography (she spends months camping out with scientists in the rainforests of Costa Rica and South America) implies containment and taming within constructed spaces (and YES, she uses PHOTOSHOP as her essential "darkroom", although in the Q and A Photoshopping remains a taboo topic for so many hesitant people. I still find that weird)...

Brainstorming months of script notes/microfilm library loans following Art motto.

i.e. organizing myself . carefully.

p.s.s. not letting any negativity bring me down.

p.s.s.s. researching data is an awesome creative experience.

Wardrobe props being gathered/collected

Wardrobe and props are now being gathered & hunted down for the new film shoot.
I will hand-process the Reversal Super 8mm footage.
I am researching the work of photographer Judy Linn (1969-1976 era) for establishing/contemplating the possible "look" that I am going after.
I will rewrite the general narrative tonight and am running on hot coffee and plenty of lattes for creative energy.

I love making films.
