When a thought comes into the mind, I wonder at times what it is meant to mean. Why am I having such a thought? What has the thought got to do with me? For each thought that is created and moulded...it becomes an image. An image slowly starts moving into what we know as a movie.
I remember how my short film on adoption was created. Just mere text messages between myself and my best friend about pregnancies...and the idea was born inside my head.
It took me a mere six hours to write the whole script. The script in my opinion..is the best I have written. I don't normally like what I write...very rarely will I say I like this.
When I think about it, the script does not become preachy and this is really important. I believe that films that are preachy and have no meaning to be can be boring. No one likes to watch a movie that does not make them sit down. If one is moving around in the seat then consider it to be boring for them.
Short films to be created in my opinion are the hardest...you need to create a story..be able to narrate it...be able to allow the audience to warm up and welcome the characters in the matter of minutes. Sounds so easy when it comes to watching but thinking of the work that must go in...it is not easy at all.
Now that I am about to start the production of the movie...I have had many challenges on the way. Which later in the year...I will discuss. But what we need to welcome is our imagination. Whatever we imagine has the ability to become reality. If James Cameron can create Avatar...it shows that anything can be created.
For me...a strong film lies in its script. So until I find a script that I create to excite me enough...I will direct it. I don't want to be known as someone who will make a movie for no reason. There has to be a reason...I need to feel passionate towards it.
This short film that I am about to start the production on...I am excited about it, I am passionate about it and I am completely in love with it. I just hope that I do complete justice to the script.
Here is a quote for all that I thought of earlier: Talent has its own language, its own beauty and its own journey. We are merely bodies showcasing the biggest show of all - OUR LIVES!
Love to all
