I know how I’m going to open my short film. The first image
popped into my head one day, and when inspiration strikes, it’s difficult not
to jump on the idea. It was almost a domino effect, since I envisioned it
almost immediately. Whether or not it plays is an entirely different beast.
But, I can sense the pieces falling into place. As far as the footage I’ve
seen. I know there are going to be some bumpy moments, but as long as I end the
film on a high note…a hopeful one at least, people will go away having been
okay with the story. That’s the goal, leave with a solid movie that people
don’t feel so bad about. And NOT because I need to be audience pleaser, but
because I feel story needs hope. Too many low budget flicks like to fuck with
people in a somber way. Even the lifelong cynic Billy Wilder, with a brutal eye
towards companionship did a “shut up and deal” heart tugger at the end of “The
Apartment.” I guess that’s what I’m going for here.
Onward to post-production.
