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: ↩ Reply

  • 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. ↩ Reply

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. ↩ Reply

  • 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... ↩ Reply

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

I don't know if music videos constitute movies.

When the consumer becomes the creator... Maybe you are just burnt out.

This was the first time I've ever cried from a film. And that experience made me addicted, both to Steven Spielberg and A.I. and also to watching films seriously. Taking in what the directors is trying to do. Letting the film overwhelm you. Letting it break you. And perhaps made me a better filmmaker myself.

[icon reviews]The Killing of a Sacred Deer 2017 is Yorgos Lanthimos's attempt to show Lars Von Trier how to properly corrupt the audience

I was afraid of 2017 absurdist horror film by Yorgos Lanthimos The Killing of a Sacred Deer, because I know it involves a murder of a child. Ever since Lars Von Trier utterly traumatized me with his depiction of this very thing in The House That Jack Built I avoid movies like this. But seeing Bugonia the other day, where I attempted to psycho-sexually analyse Lanthimos, I realized that I avoided a movie that potentially has a lot of what I need for such an analysis. So I braved myself and saw the damn film. Now I think the film was about corrupting the audience enough that they would feel good about a child being murdered. I'm not joking. That is how the movie is structured.
