The title of this post is my manisfesto for 2011. I have been stuck in a job for which I have no passion for too long now and I cannot exagerate about how frustrated I feel working day in and day out on projects that are completely devoid of any interest for me. Somewhat perversely though, I am grateful because if it were not for this job I probably wouldn't be on the road to doing what I really want to do - and to have an idea of what you 'really' want to do at 24 is pretty good.
So, year of action: that means making films, getting them seen by other people, meeting other film makers, getting my script treatment done, oh and trying to get into Film School. I like to set my targets high! but are they realistic? well, it will be a challenge but I need a challenge because it is the only way to break this current cycle and move on to new things. I have to remember to take it easy sometimes though - I tend to think that filling each and every minute of my time after work on film stuff is a worthwhile thing, but inevitably it will just poop me out.
Anyway, I am editing a short film at the moment - just a quickie thing I made at New Year of friends in various degrees of innebriation, but they make curiously brilliant subjects. Oh it is fun fun fun! this is what life is about - a bit of creative exploration and it means working with other people a lot as well, putting creative minds together, god that is what I crave more than anything.
I will keep you posted, if you're at all interested...
