CINE 2010 MANIFESTO

Today is the first day of a new decade. I woke up with a hangover and the clearest thoughts in months. At that moment, it made complete sense to discard the film I've been working on so meticulously for the past year. With this new freedom I wrote the principles to prolong cinema's mobility, authenticity and originality.

1. don't be a slave to your fiction
2. live passionately, love hopelessly
3. discard the 3 act structure
4. avoid all library & catalog music
5. use natural lighting only, make unnatural colors only
6. you are the camera movement, no tripods, no dollies
7. people will play themselves in real life
8. be a spy, observer, voyeur of your subjects
9. shoot features in weeks, think fast, don't sleep
10. travel far by foot or car, discover the spaces between places

i've spent years in this place, longing to gravitate upwards. its only now that i start to see the sky on the ground.

she was like a dandelion waiting for the wind to take her spirit far away, but she had not developed her seeds and the wind had already passed lifetimes ago

can i walk you to the train station where we'll wait for our separate trains and leave this place alone once again?

movie

a girl in her dream wanders aimlessly with a tambourine in hand.
reluctantly waiting for the end when morning makes her tambourine
nonexistent.

light memory #3

there was this album that we used to listen to. it was an import and i forgot the name. sometimes i get the songs stuck in my head and i remember the heart shaped lamp on her wall next to her photos from home
