Question
My question is about the production of the film. I’m aware that you’ve written a script, but do you plan on directing as well? If you really are assuming all of these roles, then bloody hell, no wonder this has been a struggle for you! Making a college short film production is stressful enough for myself, and I can’t help but suspect you might be taking too much on board.
Oh, and if there’s anything that I can do to help, please let me know! I know that last bit is a long shot, but having read your letter to Morrissey regarding him appearing in some Tigermilk videos, I figured why not!
Answer
i was planning on directing. i must say, it hasn’t been so much of a struggle so far really. i’ve enjoyed every step, though i must say that it’s taken longer than i thought it would. it’s part of my apprenticeship i assume. john and i go down a few wrong alleys, but we usually meet some funny people down there!
i do know that the film bit is going to be involved and stressful. i want to make the actual filming an enjoyable thing though. i want the actors to be like the characters, selfish! i want them to follow their desires and be comfortable. that’s what people are like after all. this particular summer may be the one and only time they give into what they really want. after that, responsibility beckons.
i’m filing your name in the FILM 09/10 CONTACTS box of my email. you never know when i may need you! even to be a hip bystander in a bookshop!
