I really love cinema! I like to watch a good film. And I like to make films myself. When I did "I'm Not Even Human" I was 100% concentrated at making it because of two things:

I was excited that I make a film that works and could be done. - I didn't let myself watch Steven Spielberg's "AI - Artificial Intelligence" ( aka the best film ever made ) until I finish I'm Not Even Human. And what a relief it was to finally ( some years later ) see AI when I finished I'm Not Even Human.

Currently I'm struggling to make Moira's Race ( my current movie project ). I'm procrastinating into every direction, but to work on the movie. And I was wondering what could bring me back to the concentration that I had on I'm Not Even Human.

I am excited that I make a film that works and could be done. But it doesn't help. - I am letting myself watch any movie I want. Hm...

I thought whether I should not let myself to watch AI again. That could potentially work. But even during I'm Not Even Human I looked everywhere for a similar film to substitute it. So I think I need to do something a lot crueler.
↩ Reply From tomorrow and until Moria's Race is finished I will not watch any film what so ever. I will be able to look at videos. Anything which is not a movie. But if it's a movie with plot and characters, no matter at what length, I'm not letting myself watch it. I'm not even letting myself watch I'm Not Even Human or other films I made. Apart from Moria's Race itself since I'm making it.↩ Reply Today is the last day I have to watch some films. And while typing this I see that I have only 5 hours and 20 minutes left of this day. I'm very anxious.
↩ Reply Happy Film-making!↩ Reply
Everybody inside of Israel was shocked on October 7 2023, because nobody... NOBODY expected something on this scale to happen. Mossad and Shin Bet ( Israeli Intelligence Agencies ) are some of the best in the world. And the military is some of the most advanced. And yet it still happened regardless of all these things. What the hell went wrong? Well the official reason sounds something like "There was an intelligence error". But if you dig a little deeper, you start to realize that it is not as simple as you think. And it might be the first true example of a lot of people losing their lives to skynet.
"They are taking a mild issue and trying to fix it with absolute apocalypse!" - this became a sentence I like to repeat in various comment sections since I calculated the impact of mass surveillance on well-being of the population. Even in relation to murder, a huge problem, even in relation to the worst offenders in this category, murder is a mild issue, compared to the absolute apocalypse that is total mass surveillance.
