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
