talking about it
Posted by – February 22, 2009
Grotowski said “do not talk about the process or the creation..as you are making it..Don’t go home and chat about your creative acts to your friend, family or strangers..”(something like that)
Whereas eager enthusiastic filmic folk who believe they have the next big ££$$ hit are desperate to blog, claim, sell, sell, sell when it’s just in the early stages all the way to completion.
To pitch public or meditate on the meaning. Refine and polish in the stillness of the studio (not big film $ studio) or home. That is the question of the day being a cold drab like Sunday 22nd of February 2009
a thought on writing the pitch

The square took over
- 13th February 2009
The reference point – no not reference point – the frame
The frame, the thing within which I could put all my ideas and they would be – they are enclosed.
giving limits, a certain order.
And I crave escape from having to limit things.
But that’s exactly what we want in a pitch.
Not a clutter of words and thoughts thrown at us
(dada, bravado, nuisance, solidarity ….)
But a plan, a story, a framework – once upon a time.
A defined moment – the day started out so well, then I read emails.
A host of possibilities in a set moment – I couldn’t open the door.
A moment of climax with vibration – it says yes.
Apologies, these words don’t work out so well, or maybe they do, I like them.
