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.

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.

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.

Happy Film-making!

I don't know if music videos constitute movies.

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

[icon reviews]Snake Eyes 1998 is De Palma's attempt at restoring his Hitch spirit

Watching the opening scene of Brian De Palma's 1998 film Snake Eyes makes you realize that this motherfucker is trying very hard. We have 13 minutes of Nicolas Cage running around a very crowded set. The scene is clever with its camera, giving us multiple layers of exposition in the same time. Like there could be a TV on the foreground and Cage on the background. And they seem unrelated at first, but the scene establishes most of it's plot details right in this very shot. And then the shot ends ( 13 minutes later ) at the exact moment, the script drops the "inciting incident". De Palma is really trying hard to direct the shit out this movie.

[icon reviews]Buzzy Lee - Strange Town is a Music Video we need more of

It is strange to review a music video, but Buzzy Lee's masterpiece Strange Town deserves some praise. I think Buzzy Lee, who co-directed the music video with Jeff Leeds Cohn knew that they didn't know what they were doing. So the whole thing, spoiler alert, is poking fun at their own directing.
