Musings of an Idiot

Movies and more

It has been fairly eventful since I last wrote - saw a couple of good movies at the film festival and had lots of emails back and forth regarding 'Nowhere'. We {i mean the producers} have decided to further postpone the production of 'Nowhere to Love' till early next year in an effort to raise more money and polish the script further. The last 2 days of constant emails and discussions has left me a bit emotionally exhausted because you are exploring all possibilities and variations and trying to guess what impact the decision would have on the future. It is a status quo in a way, atleast for now, as it definitely feels like the right decision to take in the long run but the built up momentum is lost and will have to start building it up again once we are closer to the new production dates again.


As far as the film festival goes - watched 'A Scanner Darkly' and 'Tristam Shandy: A Cock & Bull Story'. 'ASD' was trippy and a good watch - the ending was depressing though. Also there are story threads which were interesting but got completely ignored till they needed to tell a plot point. Plus watching the movie was annoying because the guy sitting in front of me was a twitcher - he would stay still for less than 10 seconds at a stretch and would keep moving around in his seat, which made it kind of hard for me to watch the screen clearly at any given time. On the other hand 'Tristam Shandy' was hilarious and I still smile almost at every scene which comes to my mind from that movie. It was so much fun - the british definitely have a wicked sense of humor. It is a MUST watch movie.


Where do things go from here? Well - I can't just simply sit back and say I am not doing anything for the rest of the year, so I am bringing forward the plans for 'Five' and will do that as my second movie within this year and make 'Nowhere' my third movie. I am taking a couple of days away from the whole thinking about the movie thing, so that I can refocus and prepare for 'Five'.

Till later,
Amit
