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.

An article by Troler about Libre Software made me remember an email conversation I had with Richard Stallman the other day. I suggested to have a sort of freedom ladder analogue, to encourage non-libre software developers to, at least, move closer towards user-freedom. I thought ranking software based on how close they are at achieving user-freedom. How close they are to being Libre. If they have source code published, but no license. This is still better than having no source code published at all. Stallman firmly stood his ground against my idea, claiming that anything less than Libre, anything less than software that grants all 4 essential freedoms to the user, is automatically not good enough. But then in that article by @Troler I saw something interesting. Maybe merely granting the 4 essential freedoms, might be not good enough, either.
